गरुत्मन्भुजगेन्द्रारे सुपर्ण विनतात्मज ।
नय मां तार्क्ष्य पूर्वेण यत्र धर्मस्य चक्षुषी ॥ ५.११२.१ ॥
O Garuḍa, foe of the lord of serpents, well-winged one, son of Vinatā, lead me to the east, where the two eyes of dharma are.
5.112.2
पूर्वमेतां दिशं गच्छ या पूर्वं परिकीर्तिता ।
देवतानां हि सान्निध्यमत्र कीर्तितवानसि ॥ ५.११२.२ ॥
Go first to this direction, which was named before; for you yourself have declared the presence of the gods here.
5.112.3
अत्र सत्यं च धर्मश्च त्वया सम्यक्प्रकीर्तितः ।
इच्छेयं तु समागन्तुं समस्तैर्दैवतैरहम्।
भूयश्च तान्सुरान्द्रष्टुमिच्छेयमरुणानुज ॥ ५.११२.३ ॥
Here you have rightly declared truth and dharma. I wish to meet all the gods together, and I wish to see those gods again, O younger brother of Aruṇa.

आरुरोहाथ स मुनिर्गरुडं गालवस्तदा ॥ ५.११२.४ ॥
The son of Vinatā said to that twice-born one, "Mount up." Then that sage Gālava mounted Garuḍa.

भास्करस्येव पूर्वाह्णे सहस्रांशोर्विवस्वतः ॥ ५.११२.५ ॥
O eater of serpents, your form is seen as you stride forward, like the thousand-rayed sun Vivasvat in the early forenoon.

पक्षवातप्रणुन्नानां वृक्षाणामनुगामिनाम् ।
प्रस्थितानामिव समं पश्यामीह गतिं खग ॥ ५.११२.६ ॥
O bird, I see your motion here, like trees bent by the wind of your wings, following along as they go forth together.
5.112.7
ससागरवनामुर्वी सशैलवनकाननाम् ।
आकर्षन्निव चाभासि पक्षवातेन खेचर ॥ ५.११२.७ ॥
Carrying the earth with its oceans, forests, mountains and woodlands as if to draw it upward, you appeared by the wind of your wings, O sky-goer.
5.112.8
समीननागनक्रं च खमिवारोप्यते जलम् ।
वायुना चैव महता पक्षवातेन चानिशम् ॥ ५.११२.८ ॥
And the water, with its fish, serpents and crocodiles, is lifted up as if into the sky, by the great wind and constantly by the wind of your wings.

नागाश्वनरवक्रांश्च पश्याम्युन्मथितानिव ॥ ५.११२.९ ॥
I see fish of similar form and face, timis and timiṅgilas, and creatures with the faces of serpents, horses and men, as if churned up.

न श्रृणोमि न पश्यामि नात्मनो वेद्मि कारणम् ॥ ५.११२.१० ॥
My ears have been deafened by the roars of the great ocean. I hear nothing, I see nothing, and I do not know the cause of my own state.
5.112.11
शनैः स तु भवात्यातु ब्रह्मवध्यामनुस्मरन् ।
न दृश्यते रविस्तात न दिशो न च खं खग ॥ ५.११२.११ ॥
Slowly he, recalling the slaying of a brahmin… dear one, the sun is not seen, nor the directions, nor the sky, O bird.
5.112.12
तम एव तु पश्यामि शरीरं ते न लक्षये ।
मणी व जात्यौ पश्यामि चक्षुषी तेऽहमण्डज ॥ ५.११२.१२ ॥
I see only darkness; I cannot perceive your body. O egg-born one, I see your eyes, like two fine jewels.
5.112.13
शरीरं तु न पश्यामि तव चैवात्मनश्च ह ।
पदेपदे तु पश्यामि शरीरादग्निमुत्थितम् ॥ ५.११२.१३ ॥
I see neither your body nor my own; at every step I see fire rising from your body.
5.112.14
स मे निर्वाप्य सहसा चक्षुषी शाम्यते पुनः ।
तन्नियच्छ महावेगं गमने विनतात्मज ॥ ५.११२.१४ ॥
Suddenly it quenches the fire in my eyes and calms them again. Son of Vinatā, restrain this great speed of yours.

एकतःश्यामकर्णानां शुभ्राणां चन्द्रवर्चसाम् ॥ ५.११२.१६ ॥
Here I have promised my teacher eight hundred horses — on one side black-eared ones, white and moon-bright.
5.112.17
तेषां चैवापवर्गाय मार्गं पश्यामि नाण्डज ।
ततोऽयं जीवितत्यागे दृष्टो मार्गोमयाऽऽत्मनः ॥ ५.११२.१७ ॥
O egg-born one, I see no way to fulfil them; then I have seen the only path open to me: giving up my life.

न चार्थेनापि महता शक्यमेतद्व्यपोहितुम् ॥ ५.११२.१८ ॥
I have no wealth at all, and my friend is not endowed with wealth; nor can this be removed even by great riches.
5.112.19
एवं बहु च दीनं च ब्रुवाणं गालवं तदा ।
प्रत्युवाच व्रजन्नेव प्रहसन्विनतात्मजः ॥ ५.११२.१९ ॥
Thus, as Gālava spoke much and in great distress, the son of Vinatā replied to him, laughing even as he walked on.

न चापि कृत्रिमः कालः कालो हि परमेश्वरः ॥ ५.११२.२० ॥
You are not very wise, O brahmin sage, that you wish to bind yourself and abandon yourself. Time is not artificial; Time is indeed the supreme lord.
