金翅鳥（施鼓反說文鳥翼也從羽支聲或從氏作𦐊亦一通經云金翅鳥者或名大嗉鳥梵語名迦婁羅或云揭路茶或号龍怨皆因形因事立名也八部鬼神之中是其一部也有大神力常食諸龍龍具四生卵胎濕化此鳥亦爾其中力有等差具如經文所說今但會其異名音訓文字耳）。

金翅鳥 (fanqie: 施 + 鼓, [chì]. The Shuowen jiezi states: 'Wings of a bird; derived from 羽 with 支 as phonetic'; or written with 氏 as 𦐊, both are acceptable. The sūtra says: 'Golden-winged bird' [garuḍa], also called 'large-crop bird'; in Sanskrit called Garuḍa [迦婁羅], or called Garuḍa [揭路茶], or named 'enemy of nāgas'; all are names established based on its appearance or deeds. Among the eight classes of supernatural beings, it is one class. Possessing great supernatural power, it continually feeds on nāgas. Nāgas have the four modes of birth—egg-born, womb-born, moisture-born, and transformation-born—and these birds are likewise so. Their strength has different gradations, fully described as in the sūtra text; here I merely compile their variant names, phonetic glosses, and written characters.)
