随后，因陀罗坚定举起由毗首羯磨以达提奇之骨铸成的金刚杵；他充满达提奇牟尼的威力，并为至上主（薄伽梵）的神辉所照耀。
FAQs
This verse states that Indra raised the Vajra crafted by Viśvakarmā, empowered by the sage’s potency and infused with the Lord’s divine splendor—showing it was not merely a material weapon.
Because the weapon’s effectiveness depends on spiritual power: the sage’s sacrifice and potency (Dadhīci) and the Lord’s sanction together make it capable of accomplishing its divine purpose.
It teaches that real strength comes from higher alignment—selfless sacrifice, purity, and divine support—rather than relying only on personal power or technology.
