“Those born of Aditi are endowed with strength and prowess; and you, it is said, are preeminently the strongest among them all.”

सोऽहं पक्षैकदेशेन वहामि त्वां गतक्लमः । विमृश त्वं शनैस्तात को न्वत्र बलवानिति॥५-१०३-१७॥
Yet I, without fatigue, bear you with only a portion of one wing. Reflect slowly, dear one: who here is truly the stronger?
english translation
कण्व उवाच । तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा खगस्योदर्कदारुणम् । अक्षोभ्यं क्षोभयंस्तार्क्ष्यमुवाच रथचक्रभृत्॥५-१०३-१८॥
Kaṇva said: Hearing those words of the bird—harsh in their implication—the bearer of the chariot-wheel spoke to Tārkṣya, seeking to unsettle one who was otherwise unshakable.
english translation
गरुत्मन्मन्यसेऽऽत्मानं बलवन्तं सुदुर्बलम् । अलमस्मत्समक्षं ते स्तोतुमात्मानमण्डज॥५-१०३-१९॥
O Garutmān, you imagine yourself strong, though you are exceedingly weak. It is enough—do not praise yourself in our presence, O egg-born one.
english translation
त्रैलोक्यमपि मे कृत्स्नमशक्तं देहधारणे । अहमेवात्मनात्मानं वहामि त्वां च धारये॥५-१०३-२०॥
Even the entire three worlds would be incapable of supporting my body. I alone sustain myself by my own power—and I also support you.
