Lord Nārāyaṇa was seated on the shoulder of Stotra, or Garuḍa, who had big wings. As soon as the Lord appeared, all directions were illuminated, diminishing the luster of Brahmā and the others present.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Viṣṇu, diminishing the effulgence of the devatās by his effulgence which shone in the ten directions, arrived on Garuḍa, whose wings are the Brhād-rathantara verses. Viṣṇu arrived, diminishing the effulgence of Brahmā and others. The winds of Garuḍa were the Bṛhat-rathnantara mantras. Śruti says bṛhadrathantare pakṣau: the wings are the Brhād-rathantara verses.
