「復次父王!閻浮提中及四天下,有金翅鳥名正音迦樓羅王,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;明日復於弗婆提,食一龍王及五百小龍;第三日復於瞿耶尼,食一龍王及五百小龍;第四日復於欝單越,食一龍王及五百小龍。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。

"Furthermore, royal father! In Jambudvīpa and throughout the four continents, there is a garuḍa named the Pure Voice Garuḍarāja, who enjoys complete sovereignty among all birds. By the karmic retribution of this bird, it is supposed to eat nāgas. In Jambudvīpa it eats one nāgarāja and five hundred small nāgas each day; on the next day, in Pūrvavideha, it eats one nāgarāja and five hundred small nāgas; on the third day, in Aparagodānīya, it eats one nāgarāja and five hundred small nāgas; on the fourth day, in Uttarakuru, it eats one nāgarāja and five hundred small nāgas. Cycling and repeating in this way, eight thousand years pass. At that time, this bird's signs of death appear. The nāgas spit poison so that it has no way to feed. Pressed by hunger, that bird wanders anxiously seeking food but can find none at all; roaming through all the mountains, it never finds rest, until it reaches the Diamond Mountain and then temporarily pauses. From the Diamond Mountain it descends directly to the boundary of the great waters, and from the boundary of the great waters to the boundary of the wind wheel; blown by the wind, it returns to the Diamond Mountain. Having done so seven times, its life then ends. After its life has ended, on account of that poison, fires simultaneously blaze up on the ten jewel mountains.
