May Garuda, who is the supreme vehicle of Lord Hari, and who with his curved eyebrows , crooked with anger , his round eyes and mighty wings rolling which agitated the earth and the heaven , whose bent beak, fierce canine teeth and sharp nails made the big serpents lose their power out of fear, and who routed the army of Indra, protect us from calamities.

The ten slokas from this describe the conquest of serpents by Garuda.

Garuda became angry at the serpents who enslaved his mother by deceit and as a result his eyebrows were crooked with anger, bhugnabhroobhrukuti, and his round eyes, chakrasha, rolled and his wings, bhramath amithagaruth, moved around the force of which agitated the earth and the heavens alike, kshobhithakshamaah anthariksha. .Seeing him angry at them the mighty serpents lost their vigour out of fear of his curved beak, vakrathunda, fierce teeth, krooradhamshtra, and sharp nails, kharatharanakhara..

Desika calls Garuda, Soureh syandhanendhra, the supreme vehicle of Lord Hari, who routed the army of Indra, sankrandhanaadhi prathibhataprthanaakrandhana, The army, prthanaa, of Indra, sankrandhana.

The word used fro serpents is dhanthaSooka, poisonous fangs.

May Garuda, who made the Sun afraid that Garuda will swallow the snakes which formed the harness of his chariot but got confidence because of the association of Garuda with his charioteer Aruna, and who was suspected by Siva that Garuda might take the serpent which was his bow string and who was requested lovingly by Lord Hari not to come near his bed which was Adhisesha and who took of all the auspicious signs of the wives of the serpents, protect us.

When Garuda started to destroy the serpents, Sungod , ary,amaa ,became fearful that he might aim for his harness, dHuryayokthr and Lord Siva was wary of his bowstring,kodhanDajyaa while Lord Hari asked Garuda not to lung, thalpe kalpetha maa for his bed!. Since by that time Garuda had become the vehicle of Narayana, Desika says that the Lord asked him with aadhaara, with affection!

Pathrabhanga is the auspicious signs worn by the wives while husband is alive. Garuda is said to take away the pathrabhanga of the wives of the serpents, meaning that he destroyed their husbands.

Sorry for the error. 24.yaH svaange sangaraanthaH garudhanilalavasthambhithe jambhaSathrou kunTaasthre sannakanTam praNayathi pavaye pakshaleSam dhidheSa so asmaakam samviDhatthaam surapathiprthanaa dhvandhvayuddDhaikamallaH maangalyam vaalakilyadhvijavarathapasaam ko api moortho vivarthaH May Garuda, appearing as the different embodiment of the penance of the Valakilyas

and who, made Indra immobile with his weapon becoming powerless by the light breeze of his wings resulting in his begging for friendship with faltering voice and gave a portion of his feathers as the target for the vajra in order to respect the weapon, and showed his valour in wrestling with the army of the devas, bless us. Garuda, who showed his matchless valour in wrestling wit the army of devas, surapathiprthanaa dhvadhvayuddhaikamallaH was fighting with Indra and in the middle of it,

sangaraanthe with a little breeze from his wings,garudhanilalava, made Indra powerless., sthambhithe jambaSathrou, and the weapon of Indra, the vajrayudha became ineffective. However when Indra asked for peace with faltering voice, sannakanTam praNayathi, Garuda gave a portion of his feathers to the vajrayudha, pavaye pakshaleSam dhidhesa, in order to show respect for the divine weapon. Garuda is referred to as the embodiment of the penance of valkilyas , though a different version, vaalakilyadhvik javarathapasaam kopi moortho vivarthaH. Once sage Kasyapa was performing a sacrifice and many sages assisted him in that. Among them were valakilyas, who were diminutive in size and they were carrying the fuel for the sacrifice when a small ditch intervened. They were struggling to cross it and seeing them Indra laughed. Then the sages who were only small in size but great in their power of penance cursed him that Indra will soon get a foe who will quell his pride and did penance and Desika says that Garuda was born as though by the power of their penance and he was the embodiment of their penance but vivarthaH moorthah, a different version of them because he was huge as compared to their diminutive form. The word garuth means wings and jambhasathru is Indra because he destroyer Jambhaasura. The word pavi means vajra and pavaye is the dative singular of pavi.
