His true servant stood at His feet in an instant. The Lord saw Himself surrounded by serpents. Small and great, they had gathered in countless numbers. At Garuda's thunderous roar, they were scattered. He seized them in his talons as they fled, crushing the head of one beneath his feet. Some died of fright at his mere approach. Others came pleading for mercy. He devoured them to his heart's content, until Hari said, 'Enough now.' 'Let me do what I came for.' Hari seized Kaliya and placed a bridle on his nose, loading his head with lotuses and the ball. He climbed upon Kaliya's back. Narayana then embraced Garuda and sent him on his way. The cowherds never forgot their companion and the cows. Their attention was fixed on the Yamuna's pool. They sat on the bank telling stories of Krishna, pointing, 'Here is where Hari dove in.' As they remembered and spoke of Hari, says Tuka, God arose from the water.
