mahāhimastiṣkavibhedamuktaraktacchaṭācarccitacaṇḍacañcuḥ /
kvāsau garutmān kva ca nāma saumyasvabhāvarūpākṛtireṣa sādhuḥ? //

Śankhachúda.
O mother, away with your fear, this is not the enemy of the Nágas. See the difference between this holy one, whose appearance indicates a beauteous nature, and Garuda, with his fierce beak smeared with clots of blood, which have dropped whilst he was piercing the brains of the mighty Nágas.

Palmer Boyd 1872, Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World
