Shloka 15
Garuḍa’s Inquiry on Permissible Prey and Vinatā’s Counsel (ब्राह्मणावध्यता–उपदेशः)
पितामह उवाच एष लोकविनाशाय रविरुद्यन्तुमुद्यत: । दृश्यन्नेव हि लोकान् स भस्मराशीकरिष्यति,ब्रद्माजीने कहा--ये सूर्यदेव आज सम्पूर्ण लोकोंका विनाश करनेके लिये ही उद्यत होना चाहते हैं। जान पड़ता है, ये दृष्टिमें आते ही सम्पूर्ण लोकोंको भस्म कर देंगे
pitāmaha uvāca eṣa lokavināśāya ravir udyantum udyataḥ | dṛśyann eva hi lokān sa bhasmarāśī kariṣyati ||
祖父梵天说道：“此日神似乎执意升起，只为毁灭诸世界。确然，他一旦显现于目，便会把一切境界化作堆堆灰烬。”

Educational Q&A
Even forces that sustain life (like the Sun) must operate within restraint and cosmic order; when power exceeds proper limits, it becomes destructive, and safeguarding beings becomes a dharmic concern.
Pitāmaha observes an ominous situation: the Sun appears poised to rise in a manner that would burn the worlds to ash, presenting a portent of cosmic danger and prompting concern for the survival of all realms.
