Here is an ancient passage, sharply different from everything else in this book; it is worth saying where it comes from. It is a Vedic formula, standing in the Taittirīya Saṃhitā and the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, used in the rite of building the fire altar. That altar was built in the shape of a bird, and the bird was called suparṇa, “beautiful-winged”; and the priest, laying it out of bricks, would proclaim that its head was such-and-such a chant, its wings such-and-such, its tail such-and-such.
That is, before us is not a description of Garuḍa, but an inventory of the altar, in which every part of the bird is named by a chant. Named are: trivṛt (the nine-part stoma), gāyatra, vāmadevya, bṛhat and rathantara (the two chief sāmans), yajñāyajñīya. Note how curious this construction is in itself.
The bird is built out of songs: not out of feathers, but out of chants; and the rite consisted in proclaiming, while laying the bricks, which song lies where. The Vaiṣṇava side regards such passages with respect and has its own reading. It says: a body composed of sound is an exact image of what it asserts about the Lord — that His form is not material, but consists of cit, consciousness; and the suffix rūpin was discussed reading the Hayagrīva (1.1).
Let us add that the appearance of an ancient altar-formula in a charm against snakebite shows how this book was composed: old Vedic material was taken and applied to a need it was never made for.
