Bhīmasena’s Himalayan Hunt and Seizure by the Ajagara (भीमसेनस्य अजगरग्रहणम्)
इदं च मे तनुत्राणं प्रायच्छन्मघवान प्रभु: अभेद्यं कवचं दिव्यं स्रजं चैव हिरण्मयीम्,महाराज! उन देवेश्वर इन्द्रने स्वयं मेरे शरीरकी रक्षा करनेवाला यह अभेद्य दिव्य कवच और यह सुवर्णमयी माला मुझे दी
Arjuna uvāca: idaṃ ca me tanutrāṇaṃ prāyacchan maghavān prabhuḥ; abhedyaṃ kavacaṃ divyaṃ srajaṃ caiva hiraṇmayīm.
アルジュナは言った。「そして偉大なる主マガヴァン（インドラ）は、我が身を守るこの鎧――神々の鎧にして破られぬもの――と、黄金の花輪とを授けてくださった。」

Educational Q&A
Divine gifts and protection are not mere privileges; they imply accountability. A warrior receiving celestial armor should employ that strength in alignment with dharma, remaining humble and disciplined rather than becoming arrogant.
Arjuna recounts that Indra personally granted him a divine, impenetrable armor for bodily protection and a golden garland—tokens of celestial favor and preparedness for forthcoming trials.
