Shloka 4.58.29
सम्पातिवाक्यम् (Sampāti’s Counsel and the Revelation of Laṅkā)
बलवीर्योपपन्नानां रूपयौवनशालिनाम्।।4.58.28।।षष्ठस्तु पन्था हंसानां वैनतेयगतिः परा।वैनतेयाच्च नो जन्म सर्वेषां वानरर्षभाः।।4.58.29।।
ṣaṣṭhas tu panthā haṁsānāṁ vainateyagatiḥ parā | vainateyāc ca no janma sarveṣāṁ vānararṣabhāḥ ||4.58.29||
The sixth course is that of the swans; beyond it lies the supreme path of Vainateya (Garuḍa). And our birth, O bulls among monkeys, is from Vainateya—of us all.
'O bulls among monkeys swans blessed with strength, vigour, beauty and youth move in the sixth region. Beyond, on the seventh plane, you will see the descendants of Garuda.
It stresses satya (truthful self-disclosure) and rightful lineage: Sampāti speaks plainly about origin and cosmic order, grounding the searchers in truthful knowledge rather than speculation.
He situates beings within a graded cosmic hierarchy of movement (gati): swans have a defined course, but Garuḍa’s is higher; by stating their birth from Vainateya, he asserts their natural capacity and duty to act accordingly in the righteous mission.
