Shloka 7
Ananta-Śeṣa Tapas and the Bearing of the Earth (अनन्त-शेष-तपस् तथा महीधारणम्)
एवं संलोडयामास गरुडस्त्रिदिवालयम् । पक्षतुण्डप्रहारैस्तु देवान् स विददार ह,इस तरह गरुडने स्वर्गलोकको व्याकुल कर दिया और पंखों तथा चोंचोंकी मारसे देवताओंका अंग-अंग विदीर्ण कर डाला
evaṁ saṁloḍayāmāsa garuḍas tridivālayaṁ | pakṣatuṇḍa-prahārais tu devān sa vidadāra ha ||
Śaunaka said: Thus Garuḍa threw the heavenly realm into turmoil; striking with his wings and beak, he tore the gods limb from limb. The episode underscores the overwhelming force of a divinely empowered being driven by a vowed purpose, and it frames a moral tension: even in pursuit of a righteous end, violence against the divine order brings disruption and fear, demanding later restoration of balance.
