Once Kadrū and her children asked Garuḍa to carry them to the beautiful Nāgalaya in the middle of the ocean. Garuḍa carried them on his shoulders and flew very high near the sky. The excessive heat of the sun made the Nāgas unconscious. Kadrū, in her distress, prayed to Indra. Indra showered rain and cooled the atmosphere. (M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 25, Verses 7-17). They reached the lovely island in the middle of the ocean.
