Garuḍa’s Breach of the Amṛta-Guard and Boons with Viṣṇu; Encounter with Indra (Ādi-parva, Adhyāya 29)
सौतिरुवाच ततः स विदप्रो निष्क्रान्तो निषादीसहितस्तदा । वर्धयित्वा च गरुडमिष्टं देशं जगाम ह,उग्रश्रवाजी कहते हैं--उनके ऐसा कहनेपर वह ब्राह्मण निषादीसहित गरुडके मुखसे निकल आया और उन्हें आशीर्वाद देकर अभीष्ट देशको चला गया
Sautir uvāca—tataḥ sa vidyāpradaḥ niṣkrānto niṣādī-sahitas tadā | vardhayitvā ca garuḍam iṣṭaṃ deśaṃ jagāma ha ||
Саути сказал: Тогда, когда те слова были произнесены, тот брахман — даритель священного знания — вышел (из уст Гаруды) вместе с женщиной-ниша́ди. Благословив и укрепив Гаруду благими речами, он отправился в место, которого желал.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical reciprocity: when one is released from danger through another’s restraint and right conduct, gratitude is expressed through blessing. It also implies that dharmic action—self-control and honoring others—naturally yields auspicious outcomes.
Sauti narrates that the brāhmaṇa (described as a giver of knowledge) and the Niṣādī woman emerge from Garuḍa’s mouth. The brāhmaṇa then blesses/strengthens Garuḍa and departs to his chosen destination.
