(1) Garuḍa (Eagle) who went to the realm of devas (gods) for Amṛta (ambrosia) took rest on the branch of a banyan tree, and that branch was broken. Sixty thousand Bālakhilyas were doing penance hanging head downwards on that branch. Garuḍa knew this only after the branch was broken. Fearing the curse form them he took the branch in his beak and flew about here and there. At last, according to the advice of Kaśyapa, he took the branch to the mount Gandhamādana and without causing any harm to the small hermits placed it there.
