Having observed the water of the great ocean, he then flies down, and fanning the ocean water with both wings, causes the water to part two hundred yojanas of itself; then within it he takes an egg-born nāga in his beak and carries it out beyond the ocean to eat at his pleasure. The egg-born garuḍa bird king is able to take only egg-born nāgas and the like, and cannot take womb-born, moisture-born, or apparitionally born nāgas. If the womb-born garuḍa bird king wishes to take an egg-born nāga, he returns toward the ocean east of the tree to take it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 72.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.72.13) - [Next: 72.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.72.15) - [Up: 72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.72) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.72.14) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.72.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.72.14) · Pramāṇa
