Garuḍa–Śakra Saṃvāda and the Retrieval of Amṛta (गरुड–शक्र संवादः अमृत-अपहरण-प्रसङ्गः)
अतिदैवं तु तत् तस्य कर्म दृष्टवा महर्षय: । विस्मयोत्कम्पह्दया नाम चक्रुर्महाखगे
atidaivaṁ tu tat tasya karma dṛṣṭvā maharṣayaḥ | vismayotkampahṛdayā nāma cakrur mahākhage ||
ದೇವತೆಯರ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯವನ್ನೂ ಮೀರಿದಂತೆ ತೋರುವ ಅವನ ಆ ಅತಿದೈವಿಕ ಕೃತ್ಯವನ್ನು ಕಂಡ ಮಹರ್ಷಿಗಳು ವಿಸ್ಮಯದಿಂದ ಮೌನರಾದರು. ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯದಿಂದ ಅವರ ಹೃದಯಗಳು ಕಂಪಿಸಿದವು; ಆ ಮಹಾಖಗನಿಗೆ ಅವನ ಕರ್ಮಮಹಿಮೆಯನ್ನು ಸೂಚಿಸುವಂತೆ ಅವರು ಒಂದು ನಾಮವನ್ನು ನೀಡಿದರು.

Educational Q&A
Extraordinary power or achievement, when witnessed by the wise, is not merely admired but recognized as a sign of exceptional nature; the sages respond with reverent awe and confer an identity (a name) that reflects the deed, showing how reputation and meaning are ethically tied to action.
The sages observe a feat performed by the great bird (Garuda in the surrounding episode). Overwhelmed with astonishment and trembling wonder, they decide to give him a name, implying an etymological explanation for why he is called as he is.
