Riding upon Vishnu's vehicle adorned with Garuda and Surya himself, that object blazed forth with unrivalled splendour, and seemed to illumine the three worlds. The object they saw was none other than Sree herself, attended by many Apsaras endued with splendid beauty. Indeed, she looked like a large solar disc herself, possessed of effulgence resembling that of fire.
I feel just the same as I always did. Tell me when you first began to notice any change. Could you see it coming on at all, eh?" "It was all at once, just as you were talking about school and all that. You said you only wished Why of course; look here, it must be the stone that did it!" "Stone! what stone?" said Paul. "I don't know what you're talking about." "Yes, you do the Garudâ Stone!
Thou art the period of life. Thou art ancient. Thou art recent. Thou art a Gandharva. Thou art Garuda, the prince of birds, born of Vinata by Kasyapa, otherwise called Tarkshya. Thou art capable of being comprehended with ease. Thou art of excellent and agreeable speech. Thou art he that is armed with the battle-axe. Thou art he that is desirous of victory.
All the Kurus and the Charanas highly applauded that attempt of Bhima of snatching Karna away from his car, like Garuda snatching away a snake. The son of Radha, then, from rage, in that encounter, proceeded against the son of Pandu who was waiting for battle.
How was Garuda born in consequence of the ascetic penances of the Valakhilyas? Why also Kasyapa a Brahman had the king of birds for a son? Why, too, was he invincible of all creatures and unslayable of all? Why also was that ranger of the skies capable of going into every place at will and of mustering at will any measure of energy?
And rushing impetuously against Vikarna's son who was suddenly advancing against him, Kiritin attacked him fiercely like Garuda of variegated plumage swooping down upon a snake. And both of them were foremost of bowmen, and both were endued with great strength, and both were capable of slaying foes.
The great Rishis were struck with wonder at the sight of that act of his which was beyond even the power of the gods, and gave that mighty bird a name. "And shaking the mountains by his wings, Garuda leisurely coursed through the skies. Desiring as he did to save the Valakhilyas, he saw not a spot whereon to sit. At last he went to that foremost of mountains called Gandhamadana.
And Garuda said, "O illustrious one, disregarding me why hast thou interfered with my sustenance. Having granted me a boon of thy own will, why dost thou now withdraw it? The Supreme Lord of all creatures hath, from the beginning, ordained what my food is to be. Why dost thou then stand in the way of that divine decree?
Go then, O child, in safety to accomplish thy purpose. "Sauti continued, 'Then Garuda, having heard the words of his mother, stretched his wings and ascended the skies. And endued with great strength, he soon fell upon the Nishadas, hungry and like another Yama.
And, opening his coat, he pulled out from his waistcoat pocket one end of his watch-chain. Hanging to it, attached by a cheap gilt fastening of some sort, was a small grey tablet. Paul knew it at once it was the Garudâ Stone. "You know it, I see," said Dick, as Paul was about to move towards him with what object he scarcely knew himself. "Don't trouble to come any closer.
