41.42

Garuḍa (迦嚕羅: the Sanskrit name for the great dragon-devouring bird. In ancient times, it was called Jialouluo; it is also called the golden-winged bird, or Jielucha [Garuḍa]. In modern texts written 迦嚕羅, the first and last characters are not accurate phonetically. The correct Sanskrit is Garuḍa. 䋈 is pronounced [儜 + 加] n-ā [nā]; 嚕 is pronounced with a rolled tongue. It is also called the dragon's enemy).
