Story of Garuda

In order to free himself and his mother Vinata from the snakes' slavery, Garuda sought amrit from the gods. He enquired from his mother how he might obtain the amrit. You'll need to fly to the kingdom of Indra, the king of the gods, and retrieve it, Vinata retorted. But in order to be strong enough to fly such a long distance, you need to eat a lot of food. You ought to visit the ocean and consume the nishadas (a tribe of fishermen). You will feel full after eating this. However, a brahmin who lives with the Nishadas should not be eaten. Garuda ate the Nishadas as directed by his mother, but by accident he also ingested the brahmin.

Then, suddenly, he felt like he had a fire in his throat, and he let go of the brahmin. His hunger persisted even after consuming the Nishadas, so he visited his father, Sage Kashyapa.
