Garuḍa, the Brāhmaṇa’s Release, and Kaśyapa’s Counsel
Gajakacchapa-ākhyāna Prelude
Devanagari script
स सूर्यमभितो याति वैनतेयो विहंगम: । सूर्यरश्मिप्रतप्ताश्न मूर्च्छिता: पन्नगा भवन्,पक्षिराज गरुड आकाशमें सूर्यके निकट होकर चलने लगे। अतः सर्प सूर्यकी किरणोंसे संतप्त हो मूर्च्छित हो गये
Transliteration
sa sūryam abhito yāti vainateyo vihaṅgamaḥ | sūryaraśmiprataptāś ca mūrcchitāḥ pannagā abhavan |
Translation
Then Vainateya, the great bird Garuḍa, flew circling close about the Sun. Scorched by the Sun’s rays, the serpents were overcome and fell into a swoon—showing how overwhelming power, when brought too near, can subdue even the fierce, and how the strong may restrain the dangerous without direct slaughter.
