May Garuda, the lord of birds  remove the fear of samsara for us ,whom dhevas prayed to, being frightened at his brilliance when he broke open the egg and emerged in full form, they, first approaching the fire and finding that his lustre was diminished by that of Garuda and then went to  Garuda himself  along with agni,, and who has reduced his luminescence to please them.

When Garuda came out of the egg his brilliance was unbearable when he flew  in the heavens above and the devas beacame frightened. They first thought that it was the fire god who is emiiting such light and approached him only to find that his light was m uch reduced due to the brilliance of that of garuda. Then they went to Garuda and prayed to him to reduce his luminescence and he obliged. Desika says that may such Garuda remove our fear  too as he did for the devas, the fear of samsara.
