vijñāya bhagavāṁs tatra
babhūva garuḍa-dhvajaḥ
The Supreme Lord, understanding that they were all discouraged, having broken arms, legs and shoulders, appeared there riding on Garuḍa.
Babhūva means “he made his appearance.”
|| 8.6.37 ||
giri-pāta-viniṣpiṣṭān
vilokyāmara-dānavān
īkṣayā jīvayām āsa
nirjarān nirvraṇān yathā
Observing that the demons and the devatās had been crushed by the falling mountain, the Lord rejuvenated them by his glance, so that they were fresh and without injuries.
|| 8.6.38 ||
giriṁ cāropya garuḍe
hastenaikena līlayā
āruhya prayayāv abdhiṁ
surāsura-gaṇair vṛtaḥ
The Lord very easily lifted the mountain with one hand and placed it on the back of Garuḍa. He then went to the ocean of milk, surrounded by the devatās and demons.
|| 8.6.39 ||
avaropya giriṁ skandhāt
suparṇaḥ patatāṁ varaḥ
yayau jalānta utsṛjya
hariṇā sa visarjitaḥ
Thereafter, Garuḍa, the chief of birds, unloaded Mandara Mountain from his shoulder and placed it near the water. Dismissed by the Lord, he left.
The Lord ordered Garuḍa to go elsewhere, since Vāsuki, a snake, would not come there while Garuḍa was present.
Thus ends the commentary on the Sixth Chapter of the Eighth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.

Chapter Seven
Śiva Drinks Poison
|| 8.7.1 ||
śrī-śuka uvāca
te nāga-rājam āmantrya
phala-bhāgena vāsukim
parivīya girau tasmin
netram abdhiṁ mudānvitāḥ
ārebhire surā yattā
amṛtārthe kurūdvaha
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O best of the Kurus! The devatās and demons summoned Vāsuki, king of the serpents, promising to give him a share of the nectar. They coiled Vāsuki around Mandara Mountain as a churning rope, and with great pleasure and enthusiasm they began to churn the ocean.
The Seventh Chapter describes how the Lord appeared as Kūrma, as well describes the various items churned from the ocean, Śiva drinking poison, and glorification of Śiva. Vāsuki is king of the snakes. Inviting Vāsuki by promising him a share of nectar, they wrapped him around the mountain as a rope and began to churn the ocean.
