May Garuda, appearing as the different embodiment of the penance of the Valakilyas
and who, made Indra immobile with his weapon becoming powerless by the light breeze of his wings resulting in his begging for friendship with faltering voice and gave a portion of his feathers as the target for the vajra in order to respect the weapon, and showed his valour in wrestling with the army of the devas, bless us.
Garuda, who showed his matchless valour in wrestling wit the army of devas, surapathiprthanaa dhvadhvayuddhaikamallaH was fighting with Indra and in the middle of it,
sangaraanthe with a little breeze from his wings,garudhanilalava, made Indra powerless., sthambhithe jambaSathrou, and the weapon of Indra, the vajrayudha became ineffective. However when Indra asked for peace with faltering voice, sannakanTam praNayathi, Garuda gave a portion of his feathers to the vajrayudha, pavaye pakshaleSam dhidhesa, in order to show respect for the divine weapon. Garuda is referred to as the embodiment of the penance of valkilyas , though a different version, vaalakilyadhvik javarathapasaam kopi moortho vivarthaH.
Once sage Kasyapa was performing a sacrifice and many sages assisted him in that. Among them were valakilyas, who were diminutive in size and they were carrying the fuel for the sacrifice when a small ditch intervened. They were struggling to cross it and seeing them Indra laughed. Then the sages who were only small in size but great in their power of penance cursed him that Indra will soon get a foe who will quell his pride and did penance and Desika says that Garuda was born as though by the power of their penance and he was the embodiment of their penance but vivarthaH moorthah, a different version of them because he was huge as compared to their diminutive form.
The word garuth means wings and jambhasathru is Indra because he destroyer Jambhaasura. The word pavi means vajra and pavaye is the dative singular of pavi. Prthanaa is army
