Garuḍa–Śakra Saṃvāda and the Retrieval of Amṛta (गरुड–शक्र संवादः अमृत-अपहरण-प्रसङ्गः)

युष्मान्‌ सम्बोधयाम्येष यथा न स हरेद्‌ बलात्‌ | अतुल हि बल॑ तस्य बृहस्पतिरुवाच ह

yuṣmān sambodhayāmyeṣa yathā na sa hared balāt | atulaṃ hi balaṃ tasya bṛhaspatir uvāca ha ||

ਕਾਸ਼੍ਯਪ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ—ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਹੀ ਸਚੇਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ, ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਉਹ ਬਲ ਨਾਲ ਇਸ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨੂੰ ਨਾਂ ਲੈ ਜਾਵੇ। ਉਸ ਦੀ ਤਾਕਤ ਅਤੁੱਲ ਹੈ—ਇਹ ਬ੍ਰਿਹਸਪਤੀ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਹੈ।

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches prudent vigilance: when a rival’s power is known to be overwhelming, one must warn allies and prepare collectively to prevent unjust seizure of a valued and entrusted object (here, amṛta).

Kaśyapa addresses a group (implicitly the gods or stakeholders in the amṛta episode), cautioning them that a powerful figure may seize the amṛta by force; he supports the warning by citing Bṛhaspati’s assessment that the opponent’s strength is incomparable.
