Garuḍa–Śakra Saṃvāda and the Retrieval of Amṛta (गरुड–शक्र संवादः अमृत-अपहरण-प्रसङ्गः)
निरभ्रमेव चाकाशं प्रजगर्ज महास्वनम् । देवानामपि यो देव: सो<प्यवर्षत शोणितम्,आकाशमें बादल नहीं थे तो भी बड़ी भारी आवाजमें विकट गर्जना होने लगी। देवताओंके भी देवता पर्जन्य रक्तकी वर्षा करने लगे
nirabhram eva cākāśaṃ prajagarja mahāsvanam | devānām api yo devaḥ so 'py avarṣata śoṇitam ||
Wika ni Kāśyapa: “Bagaman lubos na walang ulap ang langit, ito’y umalingawngaw sa napakalakas na dagundong. Maging si Parjanya—ang diyos ng ulan, diyos maging sa mga diyos—ay nagpaulan ng dugo.”

Educational Q&A
Extraordinary, unnatural portents—like thunder without clouds and blood-rain—are used to indicate a rupture in dharma and the approach of collective suffering. The verse teaches attentiveness to moral causality: when adharma rises, nature itself is portrayed as reflecting that imbalance.
Kaśyapa describes terrifying omens: the cloudless sky thunders loudly, and Parjanya, the rain-god, pours blood instead of water. These signs function as foreshadowing of impending disaster and a warning that the world-order has been disturbed.
