दक्षिणभारते काञ्चिनगरे कस्यचन यज्ञस्य प्रवेशद्वारे मृत्युदेवस्य यमराजस्य वक्रदृष्टिः अपतत् इति कारणेन कश्चन पारवतः म्लानमुखः आसीत् । तत्रैव स्थितः सरलहृदयः सहायमनस्कः च गरुडः कारणं ज्ञात्वा पारवतं पारेयोजनसहस्रं सुमेरुपर्वतस्य कन्दरां प्रापय्य प्रत्यागतः। यज्ञसभातः निष्क्रामन् यमराजः पारवतस्य गहनतामासु सुमेरुकन्दरासु एकेन बिडालेन कथं सम्पाद्यते इति जिज्ञसां गरुडाय प्रकटयति तदा गरुडः प्रवृत्तं सर्वम् अकथयत् ।

In South India, near the entrance of a sacrificial ceremony, the god of death, Yamaraja, cast a stern glance, which caused a parrot to become distressed. Nearby, Garuda, known for his kind heart and helpful nature, understood the reason behind the parrot's sorrow. He swiftly carried the parrot across thousands of leagues to the caves of Mount Sumeru and returned. Later, as Yamaraja emerged from the sacrificial ceremony, he expressed curiosity to Garuda about how the parrot would meet its fate in the depths of Sumeru's caves through a cat. Garuda then narrated the entire sequence of events. A story of destiny and divine intervention.
