When Garuda came out of the egg his brilliance was unbearable when he flew in the heavens above and the devas beacame frightened. They first thought that it was the fire god who is emiiting such light and approached him only to find that his light was m uch reduced due to the brilliance of that of garuda. Then they went to Garuda and prayed to him to reduce his luminescence and he obliged. Desika says that may such Garuda remove our fear too as he did for the devas, the fear of samsara.
