As per Mahabharata Adiparva Chapter 27, Kashyapa’s wives Vinata and Kadru gave birth to Garuda and the nagas respectively. Once Vinata said that the tail hairs of Indra’s horse Uchaishravas were all white, Kadru maintained that it was black. It was agreed that whoever lost would become the other’s slave. As per Kadru’s instructions, a few nagas clung to the horse’s tail and made it appear black. Thus Vinata became Kadru’s slave and Garuda had to take care of Kadru’s children.
Once Revanta, Surya’s son and Indra’s friend, rode Uchaishravas to Vaikuntha to see Vishnu. Lakshmi, who was by Vishnu’s side was amazed at seeing her brother Uchaishravas and sat staring at him.
