Doha 63b
गयउ गरुड़ जहँ बसइ भुसुंडा। मति अकुंठ हरि भगति अखंडा॥ देखि सैल प्रसन्न मन भयऊ। माया मोह सोच सब गयऊ॥१॥
करि तड़ाग मज्जन जलपाना। बट तर गयउ हृदयँ हरषाना॥ बृद्ध बृद्ध बिहंग तहँ आए। सुनै राम के चरित सुहाए॥ २॥
कथा अरंभ करै सोइ चाहा। तेही समय गयउ खगनाहा॥ आवत देखि सकल खगराजा। हरषेउ बायस सहित समाजा॥३॥
अति आदर खगपति कर कीन्हा। स्वागत पूछि सुआसन दीन्हा॥ करि पूजा समेत अनुरागा। मधुर बचन तब बोलेउ कागा॥४॥

All were rejoiced to see Garuḍa, the king of the whole feathered creation, approach––Kākabhuśuṇḍi no less than the rest of the assembly. (3) Kākabhuśuṇḍi received the king of birds, Garuḍa, with utmost reverence and, having enquired after his welfare, conducted him to an exalted seat. After offering him loving veneration (lit., worship), Kākabhuśuṇḍi addressed him in pleasant accents: (4)
नाथ कृतारथ भयउँ मैं तव दरसन खगराज। आयसु देहु सो करौं अब प्रभु आयहु केहि काज॥६३ (क)॥
सदा कृतारथ रूप तुम्ह कह मृदु बचन खगेस। जेहि कै अस्तुति सादर निज मुख कीन्हि महेस॥६३ (ख)॥
