May the shaking of the feathers by Garuda , in the tumult that ensued in trying to grab the food of Indra, that is, nectar, which made the movements of the planets and the directions topsy turvy , secure my well-being.

Garuda tried to grab, graha, the nectar which was the food,bhaktha of Indra, suthraama and devas, and in the battle, kalahaviDhou that ensued Garuda shook his wings in fury and two or three of his feathers fell,dhvithraah paksha uthkshepaah and the wind arose from that , vipaksha kshapaNa sarabhasa, displaced the planets and they went astray from their usual movements of the zodiac, grahaaNaam aniyathavakra athichaaraah. The directions east and west unintelligible, vilulitha praagavaagaadhibhaedhah because of that since the Sun and the Moon from whom the directions are understood were not at all following their normal course.

May Garuda, who played with the fighting devas who were blind with fury, pretending a little anger, combating with many of them yet unharmed, whose limbs competed with each other in confiscating the nectar as though envious of each other, protect us.

Garuda was playing with the devas, kreedan, who were blind with anger, rushaanDhaih , confronting singlehanded, ekah, the devas who were many, anekaih, showing anger, not real but assumed, now and then, vihithamrshaaroshaganDhah.
