Garuḍa’s Assault on the Devas and the Fire-Barrier (अमृत-रक्षा-युद्धम्)
प्रोवाच चैनं विनता पुत्रहार्दादिदं वच: । जठरे न च जीरयेंद् यस्तं जानीहि द्विजोत्तमम्,विनताने पुत्रके प्रति स्नेह होनेके कारण पुन: इस प्रकार कहा--'बेटा! जो तुम्हारे पेटमें पच न सके, उसे ब्राह्मण जानना”
provāca cainaṃ vinatā putrahārdād idaṃ vacaḥ | jaṭhare na ca jīrayed yas taṃ jānīhi dvijottamam ||
Moved by a mother’s deep affection for her son, Vinatā spoke to him again: “My child, recognize as the foremost of the twice-born (a brahmin) that being whom you would be unable to digest in your belly.”
