Seeing that beautiful feather, cast by Garuda, all creatures became exceedingly pleased and they said, “Let this bird be called Suparna (bird with beautiful feathers)." Seeing this, the deity of thousands eyes, Purandara, was much surprised and he thought the bird must be a great being. He then addressed him thus,
तदुत्सृष्टमभिप्रेक्ष्य तस्य पर्णमनुत्तमम्। हृष्टानि सर्वभूतानि नाम चक्रुर्गरुत्मतः॥ सुरूपं पत्रमालक्ष्य सुपर्णोऽयं भवत्विति। तदृष्ट्वा महदाश्चर्य सहस्राक्षः पुरंदरः। खगो महदिदं भूतमिति मत्वाऽभ्यभाषत॥
