KBC 2021: According to Hindu mythology, what is the name of the brother of Aruna, Suryadev’s charioteer?
Varuna
Sampati
Garuda
Jatayu
Answer: Garuda
Garuda is a divine eagle-like sun bird and the king of
birds. A Garutman is mentioned in the Rigveda who is described as celestial
deva with wings. The Shatapatha Brahmana embedded inside the Yajurveda text
mentions Garuda as the personification of courage. In the Mahabharata, Garutman
is stated to be the same as Garuda, then described as the one who is fast, who can
shapeshift into any form and enter anywhere. He is a powerful creature in the
epics, whose wing-flapping can stop the spinning of heaven, earth, and hell. He
is described to be the vehicle mount of the Hindu god Vishnu, and typically
they are shown together.
