Adhyaya 2 — The Lineage of Garuda and the Birth of the Wise Birds: Kanka and Kandhara
इति श्रीमार्कण्डेयपुराणे वपुशापो नाम प्रथमोऽध्यायः ।
द्वितीयोऽध्यायः ।
मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।
अरिष्टनेमिपुत्रोऽभूद् गरुडो नाम पक्षिराट् ।
गरुडस्याभवत् पुत्रः सम्पातिरिति विश्रुतः ॥
iti śrīmārkaṇḍeyapurāṇe vapuśāpo nāma prathamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
dvitīyo 'dhyāyaḥ |
mārkaṇḍeya uvāca |
ariṣṭanemiputro 'bhūd garuḍo nāma pakṣirāṭ |
garuḍasyābhavat putraḥ sampātir iti viśrutaḥ ||
至此,《圣·摩尔迦ṇḍeya往世书》第一章——名为“关于身躯之诅咒(Vapuśāpa)”——告终。第二章开始。摩尔迦ṇḍeya说道:由阿里ṣṭanemi诞生迦楼罗(Garuḍa),为众鸟之王。迦楼罗有一子,名闻遐迩,号为三跋提(Sampāti)。

The verse functions primarily as a genealogical anchor: Purāṇas often establish authority and continuity through lineage. Ethically, it underscores the traditional Indian view that identity and duty (svadharma) are situated within a larger continuum of ancestry and cosmic order.
This is best classified under Vaṁśa (genealogies of sages, kings, and notable beings) / Vaṁśānucarita (accounts of dynasties and descendants). It is not directly sarga/pratisarga/manvantara in this single verse, but it contributes to the vaṁśa characteristic.
Garuḍa as ‘pakṣirāṭ’ (king of birds) can symbolically represent the ascending power of discernment and swift spiritual movement; naming Sampāti as his son signals a transmission of potency through lineage—an image for how capacities (śakti in a general sense) are inherited, cultivated, and narrated within dhārmic memory.
