Yantras are considered the deity's body, with Mantras as the soul. Each deity has an associated Yantra, and Agamas give specific instructions for creating and worshipping these Yantras. They can be made on various materials, including gold, silver, copper, or Bhurja (birch bark). There are two types of Yantras: those used in worship (Pujaniya) and those worn on the body (Dharaniya), with the latter believed to fulfill desires and offer protection.

Garuda is going to attack Swargaloka to get amrita.
Garuda's mother was held as a slave by her own sister.
If Garuda could get amrita for her and her children, the serpents then they will release her from slavery.
Because of his mother's slavery, Garuda also had to do as they said.
Devas were well prepared for the imminent attack.
Ready with drawn-out weapons.
Devendra himself stood with his Vajrayudha.
Looking at the huge size of Garuda filling the sky and his ferociousness, the soldiers of Swargaloka started trembling.
The occupants of Swargaloka are not just the Devas.
Like any kingdom, any capital. armies are there, attendants are there.
Devaloka is a full-fledged kingdom.
Viswakarma was in charge of protecting the amrita kumbha.
He was very strong.
He fought with Garuda for 48 minutes.
And almost died severely attacked by the wings, claws, and beak of Garuda.
With the fierce blows of his huge wings, Garuda raised so much dust that all the words went into darkness.
That dust covered all the Devas.
They couldn't see anything.
Garuda kept on attacking with his beak, wings, and claws.
He was tearing apart Deva soldiers.
Indra told Vayudeva: blow this dust away.
Vayu did so.
When the light came back, Devas started attacking Garuda with weapons.
Garuda's body was spread all over the sky, like clouds.
The Deva army started showering weapons upon Garuda, but he was totally unperturbed.
He kept on hitting at devas with his wings and crushed them with his chest.
They ran here and there.
Sadhays and Gandharwas ran towards the east.
Vasus and Rudras ran towards the south.
Adityas ran towards the west.
Aswini kumaras ran towards the north.
After that, Garuda fought with nine very powerful Yakshas.
Even them, he tore apart with his claws and beak.
Then Garuda saw the amrita kumbha.
But there was a huge firewall around it, reaching up to the sky.
Garuda produced 1800 heads in his body and filled them with water from all the rivers, extinguished the firewall, and got ready to take away the amrita kumbha.
But a huge chakra was whirling around the amrita kumbha made of iron.
It was blazing hot.
The spokes and the teeth were so sharp that it would cut anyone who went near it.
Garuda could reach the pot of amrita only after getting past this chakra.
Garuda shrunk his body into a very tiny size and went past between the spokes even as the chakra was rotating at high speed.
Then there were two huge snakes with their tongues flinging out like lightning.
Even their eyes were filled with poison.
Those snakes were in a rage.
Even if they look at someone he will die.
They were so vigilant that they never closed their eyes.
Garuda grew back to his original size, again raised dust with his wings, and blinded the snakes.
Then with his sharp beak cut them into pieces right in the middle.
Now there was no more resistance.
Garuda lifted the amrita kumba and flew away.
As he flew past he masked the sun.
