इत्य् उक्त्वा प्रययौ कृष्णः प्राद्युम्निर् यत्र तिष्ठति तद्बन्धफणिनो नेशुर् गरुडानिलशोषिताः
ity uktvā prayayau kṛṣṇaḥ prādyumnir yatra tiṣṭhati tadbandhaphaṇino neśur garuḍānilaśoṣitāḥ
Nói xong, Śrī Kṛṣṇa lên đường đến nơi Pradyumna đang ở. Những mào rắn làm dây trói đã khô kiệt như bị gió do Garuḍa khuấy động, nên không còn rít lên được nữa.

FAQs
Garuḍa functions as a theological symbol of Vishnu’s sovereign power—hostile serpent-bonds lose their force, as if dried by Garuḍa’s wind, indicating that opposition collapses before divine protection.
Through narrative causality: Krishna’s purposeful movement toward Pradyumna coincides with the weakening of the binding serpents, presenting protection not as abstraction but as Bhagavān’s active, saving intervention.
Krishna is shown as the supreme governing reality whose presence nullifies bondage and threat, reinforcing a Vaishnava view of Bhagavān as the ultimate refuge and ruler of cosmic order.
