Image title
The great eagle Garuḍa, vehicle of Viṣṇu himself, flies down from heaven and his mere presence releases Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa from their magic serpentine bonds as the snakes go gliding off (eagles are the traditional enemies of snakes), while his touch heals their wounds. He pays them homage along with VibhÄ«á¹£aṇa, SugrÄ«va and other monkeys. Rāma wonders who this great being might be, but Garuḍa assures him he will know once he has achieved success in the fight and Sītā has been restored to him. The monkeys then howl out their triumph at this turn of events and hurl themselves at Laṅkā once more, wielding tree trunks.
