गालव उवाच क्रममाणस्य ते रूप॑ दृश्यते पन्नगाशन । भास्करस्थेव पूर्वाह्ने सहस्रांशोर्विवस्वत:,गालवने कहा--सर्वभोजी गरुड़! पूर्वह्लकालमें सहस्र किरणोंसे सुशोभित भुवनभास्कर सूर्यका स्वरूप जैसा दिखायी देता है, आकाशमें उड़ते समय तुम्हारा स्वरूप भी वैसा ही दृष्टिगोचर होता है
gālava uvāca | kramamāṇasya te rūpaṃ dṛśyate pannagāśana | bhāskarastheva pūrvāhne sahasrāṃśor vivasvataḥ ||
伽罗婆说道：“噢，食蛇者（迦楼罗）！当你行进于长空，你的形体显现如同太阳——千光之毗婆斯梵——在晨时所见，灿然若安立于苍穹。”
