May Garuda, who ,sharpening his beak crooked like the blade of a scythe on the gems from the hoods of the serpents, which are strewn around on the back of the tortoise  bearing the earth, hard like a mountain, reaps the harvest of the  ripe crop of serpents in the field of paathaala  and who has the speed that makes the seven mountains of the world light, bestow all good to us.

It is usual for a farmer reaping a harvest to sharpen his scythe on sand strewn on a rock. Here the serpents are the ripe crop, pakkvadhvirasanaprthanaa Saalee in the field that is paathaala, paathaalakshethra. The scythe is the curved beak of Garuda, sankulaakotivakram thundaagram. He whetted the beak on the gems strewn around from the hoods of the serpents, aakeernaphaNamani nikara, like the fresh, prathyagra, sand. The stone on which he sharpened his beak is the earth itself borne by the tortoise whose back is hard like the kulaparvatha. Then Garuda harvested the crop of serpents with such force that the speed of his action  lightened the seven mountains of the earth so that they were displaced.

The seven mountains mentioned are those which are supposed to exist in each division, of the continent. They are, Mahendhra, Malaya, Sukthimaan, rkshaparvatha, vindhya, paariyaathra and kulaparvatha which is the most important of these.

 May the sound of Garuda striking his arms triumphantly, which aborted the foetus  from the wombs of the female serpents, made all beings, from Brahma to a  blade of grass tremble, the agitated the ocean the tumultuous noise of which , deafened the ears of the surviving serpents,  which at once uprooted the mountains  and blasted the sky instantly, protect us.

33. thoyasakanDho na  sinDhoh samaghatatha miThah pakshavikshepabhinnah

      prthyaayaathah svayooThyaih sThitha ithi vidhithah paathu pathreesvaro nah

May Garuda who went to pathaala and returned so swiftly, with the mark on his forehead of the poison that flowed from the mouths of the serpents he ate, like a mark of kasthuri, even before the sea which was parted by the shaking of his wings rejoined, before the rays of the Sun even entered through the gap  into paathaala  that his kith and kin were  never even aware of his absence, protect us.

The sea was parted  by Garuda shaking his wings and there was a hole made towards paathaala  through which he entered in. His movement was so swift that he returned even before the sea rejoined, thoyaskanDhah na sindDhoh,  and the rays of the Sun entered into paathaala, paathaalam na pravishtam raSmibhih thigmaraSmeh through the wide gap, prthuni vivare created by him. Not only that but his relatives never even knew of his movements and thought that he was with them all the time, svayooThaih sThitha ithi vidhithah. He adorned his forehead with the poison of the serpents that flowed from their mouths when he swallowed them, grastha ahivakthraksharitha vishamasheepanka kasthoorikaankah as it was black and resembled kasthuri.
