Garuda Attacks the Gods Guarding the Soma

Garuda arrives at the place where the gods guard the amrita (elixir of immortality), and his very presence sends them into a panic. He creates a blinding dust storm, kills their champion, and then tears through the entire divine army with his beak, talons, and wings, sending them fleeing in every direction.

Then, wanting a son of strength, she summons Vayu, the wind god, and gives birth to Bhima—whose first act is to shatter a mountain.
