But very soon waves came and carried them away. She complained to her husband. The water fowl called a conference of all the birds living there and explained to them his mishap and all of them went on a deputation to Garuḍa, the best of the birds and requested him to find out a remedy. Garuḍa represented the matter to Mahāviṣṇu who in turn called Varuṇa to his side and ordered him to give back the eggs to the fowl. - [Previous: c8.1778](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1778) - [Next: c8.1780](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1780) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1779](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1779) · Pramāṇa
