又濕生金翅鳥王。欲取卵生龍。還向樹東海中取食。又濕生鳥王。欲取胎生龍。即向樹南海中取食。水開四百由旬。又濕生鳥王。欲取濕生龍者。即向樹西海中取之。水開八百由旬。濕生鳥王。唯能取卵生胎生濕生龍等。不能取化生龍也。

Furthermore, when a moisture-born garuḍa king wishes to capture an egg-born nāga, he also goes toward the sea east of the tree to capture and eat it. When a moisture-born bird king wishes to capture a womb-born nāga, he goes toward the sea south of the tree to capture and eat it, the water parting for four hundred yojanas. When a moisture-born bird king wishes to capture a moisture-born nāga, he goes toward the sea west of the tree to capture it, the water parting for eight hundred yojanas. The moisture-born bird king can only capture egg-born, womb-born, and moisture-born nāgas, and cannot capture apparitionally born nāgas.
