Garuḍa–Śakra Saṃvāda and the Retrieval of Amṛta (गरुड–शक्र संवादः अमृत-अपहरण-प्रसङ्गः)
अचिन्त्यमनभिध्येयं सर्वभूतभयंकरम् । महावीर्यधरं रौद्रं साक्षादग्निमिवोद्यतम्
acintyam anabhidhyeyaṁ sarvabhūtabhayaṅkaram | mahāvīryadharaṁ raudraṁ sākṣād agnim ivodyatam ||
Sua forma era inconcebível, além do alcance da meditação e de qualquer descrição, aterradora para todos os seres. Trazia em si um poder imenso; parecia feroz—como se Agni, o deus do Fogo, se manifestasse em pessoa, ardendo diante dos olhos.
