Garudapurana 3.8

The glorious Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa: [Chapter] 8. / Born after Kratu, [the one] named Mitra, O Lord of Birds, / began to praise Nārāyaṇa, the source of the world.

Mitra said: / 'Ignorant, I bow to your lotus feet, which cut through worldly existence, an auspicious path for cutting through worldly existence. / The Blessed Lord Vāsudeva himself knows; not I, nor Fire, nor the three gods, nor the lords of sages.

Now, when the foremost among other devotees of the Lord do not know, then whence could others? / Protect me always, O Supreme Master, [remembering] that I am always lower than Viśvāmitra; / I have always twice [the qualities] of Parjanya; therefore I have no capacity to praise.'

Having thus praised Hari, Mitra then sat silent, O bird; / after him, the younger Tārā undertook to praise.

Tārā said: / 'Those who practice firm devotion with undivided heart, / having abandoned their rites for your sake, having abandoned their own people and kinsmen,

and having heard of your sanctuary, hear and recount the narrative— / thus are these virtuous ones, O Viṣṇu, free from all attachment.

Protect [me] who have fallen among them, who am always equal to Mitra, O Lord!' / After Tārā, Nirṛti spoke, O Lord of Birds.

Nirṛti said: / 'Through yoga and through devotion offered to you, people go to the supreme state, / and through attendance on those who excel in all virtues, through knowledge accompanied by detachment, O unassailable one,

and through control of the mind alone they attain the supreme abode of Viṣṇu. / Therefore protect me with compassion, [I who am] always equal to Tārā, O Lord!' / After him, his younger [sister] Prāvahī undertook to praise him.

Prāvahī said: / 'Sons are born from virility through association; and by your grace, supreme prosperities arise. / Let there be devotion on the path of liberation through attending to those stories that are an elixir of [the Lord of] excellent fame,

at all times, O God of gods! I am always equal to Nirṛti. / Mitra, [...], and Tārā are proclaimed [together];

and Nirṛti, the lord of the corner, and Prāvahī, beloved of Pravaha— / these four are declared to have three times [the qualities] of Parjanya.

I shall speak of those born after them; listen to them, O Lord of Birds! / Born after the wife of Pravaha, the attendant Viṣvaksena, / the fortunate son of Vāyu, undertook to praise Hari.

Viṣvaksena said: / 'The Blessed One, Kṛṣṇa, is the giver of liberation and full of bliss, if always / there is supreme devotion that accomplishes direct perception;

and likewise, if there is guileless devotion toward the virtuous, / beginning with one’s own guru up to Brahmā, according to their eligibility;

and if there is love toward living beings such as tulasī, O bird, / then worldly transmigration will surely be destroyed; of this there is no doubt.'

Having thus praised, O great Lord, the fortunate Viṣvaksena / fell silent, O Garuḍa, with folded hands and bent neck: / "I am certainly lower than Mitra; no consideration is needed on this matter."

Thus ends the eighth chapter [...] in the glorious Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa.
