Viśvarūpa’s Death, Vṛtrāsura’s Manifestation, and the Devas’ Surrender to Nārāyaṇa
युष्मभ्यं याचितोऽश्विभ्यां धर्मज्ञोऽङ्गानि दास्यति । ततस्तैरायुधश्रेष्ठो विश्वकर्मविनिर्मित: । येन वृत्रशिरो हर्ता मत्तेजउपबृंहित: ॥ ५४ ॥
yuṣmabhyaṁ yācito ’śvibhyāṁ dharma-jño ’ṅgāni dāsyati tatas tair āyudha-śreṣṭho viśvakarma-vinirmitaḥ yena vṛtra-śiro hartā mat-teja-upabṛṁhitaḥ
حين يتوسّل الأَشوِني-كُماران إلى دَدهيَنجا نيابةً عنكم، فإن دَدهيَنجا العارفَ بالدارما سيهب أعضاؤه محبةً لا محالة؛ فلا تشكّوا. ثم إنَّ فيشواكَرما سيصنع من عظامه أفضلَ سلاحٍ، وهو الوَجر؛ وسيكون مشحونًا بقدرتي، فيقطع رأسَ فِرتراسورا قطعًا.
