«You are the beautiful-winged one, you are Garutmān: go to heaven, fly into the light! [He] formerly proclaimed this knowledge of brahman in the new moon and in the full moon. "Moving, moving… destroying poison, corrupting poison: poison is slain, poison has perished, slain by the thunderbolt of Indra — svāhā».

Note the command divaṃ gaccha suvaḥ pata, “go to heaven, fly into the light.” This too is a Vedic formula, uttered in the rite at the release: the assembled bird-altar was sent off to fly. That is, here it is applied so that Garuḍa, who entered at the call (2.1), now flies away, carrying off the poison.
This construction is common and reasonable in charms: first one calls, then one sends off; and every charm ends with a release, otherwise what was summoned remains. Let us add what is said of the time: amāvāsyāyāṃ paurṇamāsyām, “in the new moon and the full moon.” That is, this teaching is taught on the days of the moon's turning; and at the end of the book it will be said that it must be read at the new moon.
It is worth saying why exactly these days. In Indian practice, the new moon and full moon are parvan days, “joint” days: days when time, as it were, bends, and every action on them weighs more. The Vaiṣṇava side counts its days differently, and this deserves note.
Its chief day is ekādaśī, the eleventh from the new moon and the full moon; and it is chosen not by the moon, but by abstinence: on this day one fasts and does not sleep. The difference is telling: there, the day is chosen by the structure of time; here, by what a person does on that day.
