सुपर्णागमनम् (Garuda’s Arrival and the Release from the Serpent-Arrow Bond)
तमागतमभिप्रेक्ष्यनागास्तेसम्प्रदुद्रुवुः ।यैस्तौसत्पुरुषौबद्धौशरभूतैर्महाबलौ ।।6.50.37।।
tato muhūrtād garuḍaṃ vainateyaṃ mahābalam |
vānarā dadṛśuḥ sarve jvalantam iva pāvakam ||6.50.36||
Then, in an instant, all the Vānaras beheld mighty Garuḍa—Vinātā’s son—blazing like fire.
Seeing the noble Rama and Lakshmana bound by the serpents in the form of arrows (released by Indrajith), the serpents fled.
Dharma is upheld through protection of the righteous: when adharma binds the innocent, divine aid may manifest to restore moral order.
At a critical moment in battle, Garuḍa suddenly appears before the Vānara army, radiant and powerful.
Faith and steadiness in crisis—recognizing that help can come when one remains aligned with righteousness.
