Garuḍa–Śakra Saṃvāda and the Retrieval of Amṛta (गरुड–शक्र संवादः अमृत-अपहरण-प्रसङ्गः)
तावुभौ भक्षयित्वा तु स तार्क्ष्य: कूर्मकुञ्जरौ । ततः पर्वतकूटाग्रादुत्पपात महाजव:,इस प्रकार कछुए और हाथी दोनोंको खाकर महान् वेगशाली गरुड पर्वतकी उस चोटीसे ही ऊपरकी ओर उड़े
tāv ubhau bhakṣayitvā tu sa tārkṣyaḥ kūrma-kuñjarau | tataḥ parvata-kūṭāgrād utpapāta mahājavaḥ ||
亀と象の両方を食らい尽くすと、タールクシャ（ガルダ）は凄まじい速さをもって、その山の頂からそのまま天へと跳び上がった。この一段は、己が本有の力と目的に従って動く者の抗しがたい威力を示すとともに、衆生が怨讐に絡め取られるとき、より強大な運命の働き手に呑み込まれて重い報いを招くことをほのめかしている。

The verse highlights overwhelming strength and swiftness operating in accordance with innate nature and destiny; it also suggests that entrenched conflict can end disastrously when a greater power intervenes.
Kaśyapa narrates that Garuḍa (Tārkṣya) eats both the tortoise and the elephant and then launches himself upward from the summit of a mountain peak with great speed.
