There once Garuda, hungry, took by force the water creature he wanted for his food, though Saubhari had told him not to. Seeing the fish wretched and greatly grieved now that the lord of the fish had been killed, Saubhari spoke out of pity, working for the safety of the creatures there. If Garuda comes in here and eats these fish, he will be parted from his life on the spot. What I say is true. Kaliya alone knew of this, and no other serpent did; and so, in fear of Garuda, he lived there, until Krsna sent him away.
