Garuḍa–Śakra Saṃvāda and the Retrieval of Amṛta (गरुड–शक्र संवादः अमृत-अपहरण-प्रसङ्गः)
ततः शनै: पर्यपतत् पक्षै: शैलान् प्रकम्पयन् । एवं सो5भ्यपतद् देशान् बहूनू सगजकच्छप:,तदनन्तर गरुड अपने पंखोंकी हवासे बड़े-बड़े पर्वतोंको कम्पित करते हुए धीरे-धीरे उड़ने लगे। इस प्रकार वे हाथी और कछुएको साथ लिये हुए ही अनेक देशोंमें उड़ते फिरे
tataḥ śanaiḥ paryapatat pakṣaiḥ śailān prakampayan | evaṃ so 'bhyapatad deśān bahūn sa gaja-kacchapaḥ ||
Затем Гаруда полетел дальше, постепенно, и взмахи его крыльев заставляли дрожать горы. Так, неся с собой слона и черепаху, он пронёсся над многими странами.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the sheer force of Garuḍa’s might—so great that even mountains tremble—suggesting an ethical reflection: immense power affects the world around it and therefore calls for restraint and right purpose.
Garuḍa continues flying, slowly but powerfully; the wind from his wings shakes mountains as he travels across many regions while still carrying the elephant and the tortoise.
