20. aaraath abhyutThitha airaavatham amitha java udhanchath ucchaiSravaskam

     jaathakshobham vimaThnan dhiSi dhiSi  dhiviSath vaahineeSam kshaNena

    bhraamyan savyaaopasavyam sumahathi mishathi svargisaarThe suDhaartTham

    prenkhan nethrahSriyam nah prakatayathu chiram pakshavaan manThaSailah

Garuda, who like the Manthara mountain with wings,  Airavatha and Ucchaisravas rise up against, made Indra agitated  with the tumult  of his movement left and right in every direction, rolling his eyes seeking nectar while the devas were looking on,  manifest  prosperity for us for a long time.

In this sloka Garuda is compared to the Manthara mountain with all the adjectives used being appropriate for both.

 

Airavatha which arose from the ocean while the Manthara mountain was being churned, aaraath utThitha airaavatham,  also rose against Garuda

UcchaiSravas rose with great speed  against Garuda  as he emerged out of the ocean, amitha java udhanchath ucchaisravaskam.

Garuda  was  flying left and right, savya apasavyam, in all directions, dhisi dhisi braamyan, and agitated jaatha kshobham , Indra, dhivishathvaahineesam, the master of the army of the devas. The word dhivishad means devas who reside in the heaven, dhivi.

The  Manthara mountain was being churned, vimaThnan, right and left  and agitated the ocean, vaahineesa, who is  also  dhivishadeesa, the Lord of Ganges, who is referred to as  dhivishad, residing in the heavens.  

Prenkhathnethra, on the part of Garuda means rolling eyes and on the part of Manthara denotes Vasuki, used as the churning rope, the word nethra having the meaning of the rope of a churning stick.

Nah Sriyam praktayathu ? Like the Manthara which caused the manifestation of Sri, Goddess Lakshmi, may Garuda fetch Sri to us also.
