Garuda Attacks the Gods Guarding the SomaCh. 28
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.
