「大威德迦樓羅王」者，食龍之時有大威德，故以為名也。「大身」者，經云「兩翅相去三百三十六萬里」也，閻浮提只容其一足。「大滿」者，餘鳥食龍多不飽足，此鳥恒飽滿，故云大滿。「如意」者，此鳥頸下有如意珠，或言不可動也。有人言：食三生龍者名大滿；具能食四生龍，勢力自在，故稱如意也。

> "Mahātejas Garuḍa King": when devouring dragons it possesses great majesty and virtue, hence it is named accordingly. "Mahākāya" (Great Body): the sūtra says, "The distance between its two wings is 3,360,000 li"; Jambudvīpa can only hold one of its feet. "Mahāpūrṇa" (Great Fullness): other birds that devour dragons are mostly not satiated, but this bird is constantly satiated and full, hence called "Great Fullness". "Rddhi" (As-One-Wishes): this bird has a wish-fulfilling jewel under its neck; or it is said to be "immovable". Some say: one who devours dragons of three modes of birth is called "Great Fullness"; one who can devour dragons of all four modes of birth, possessing sovereign power, is called "As-One-Wishes".
