Getting every requisite thing ready, he fed the gods including Viṣṇu and others with various pleasant things. He fed all the others who had attended His marriage with juicy cooked food of various sorts. [...]�.

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

In the Varuṇa-maṇḍala, Garuḍa is contemplated upon as seated in a pure lotus, marching towards the streams of water (nectar) (ܻ) released from the nectarine pot in his hand, shining with conch and discus, adorned with a pearl necklace, crown, garland and with two huge teeth like the crescent moon, cooling the victim of snake bite like the Moon.
