12.58

又觀佛三昧經云。佛言。閻浮提中及四天下有金翅鳥。名伽樓羅王。於諸鳥中快得自在。此鳥業報應食諸龍。於閻浮提日食一龍王及五百小龍。第二日於弗婆提。第三日於瞿耶尼。第四日於欝單越。各食如前。周而復始。經八千歲。此鳥爾時死相已現。諸龍吐毒無由得食。彼鳥飢逼。周慞求食了不能得。遊巡諸山永不得安。至金剛山。然後暫住。從金剛山直下至大水際。從大水際至風輪際。為風所吹。還至金剛山。如是七返然後命終。其命終已。以其毒故。令十寶山同時火起。爾時難陀龍王。懼燒此山。即大降雨澍如車軸。鳥肉散盡唯有心在。其心直下。如前七返。然後還住金剛山頂。難陀龍王。取此鳥心以為明珠。轉輪王得以為如意珠。

Furthermore, the Guanfo sanmei jing states: The Buddha said: In Jambudvīpa and throughout the four continents, there is a garuḍa named the Garuḍa King, who enjoys great sovereignty among all birds. By the karmic retribution of this bird, it must eat nāgas. In Jambudvīpa it eats one nāga king and five hundred small nāgas each day. On the second day [it does so] in Pūrvavideha, on the third day in Aparagodānīya, and on the fourth day in Uttarakuru, eating as before in each. Cycling through them, eight thousand years pass. At that time, the signs of death appear for this bird. The nāgas spit poison so that it can find no food. Pressed by hunger, the bird flutters around seeking food but can find none at all. Roaming among the mountains, it never finds peace. Arriving at the Vajra Mountain, it then briefly stops. From the Vajra Mountain it goes straight down to the edge of the great waters, and from the edge of the great waters to the edge of the wind circle; blown by the wind, it returns to the Vajra Mountain. Having done so seven times, its life then ends. When its life ends, because of its poison, fire breaks out simultaneously on the ten jewel mountains. At that time, the Nāga King Nanda, fearing the burning of these mountains, sends down torrential rain pouring like cart-axles. The bird's flesh is completely dispersed, leaving only its heart. Its heart falls straight down, repeating the previous seven cycles, and then comes to rest on the summit of the Vajra Mountain. The Nāga King Nanda takes this bird's heart as a luminous pearl, and a wheel-turning king obtains it as a cintāmaṇi.
