Srimad Bhagavatam — Shashtha Skandha, Shloka 53
Viśvarūpa’s Death, Vṛtrāsura’s Manifestation, and the Devas’ Surrender to Nārāyaṇa
दध्यङ्ङाथर्वणस्त्वष्ट्रे वर्माभेद्यं मदात्मकम् । विश्वरूपाय यत्प्रादात् त्वष्टा यत्त्वमधास्तत: ॥ ५३ ॥
dadhyaṅṅ ātharvaṇas tvaṣṭre varmābhedyaṁ mad-ātmakam viśvarūpāya yat prādāt tvaṣṭā yat tvam adhās tataḥ
阿闼婆之子达德扬叉曾将与我同体、不可破坏的护身甲——“那罗延那护甲”（Nārāyaṇa-kavaca）授予工巧神特瓦什塔；特瓦什塔又传给其子毗湿瓦卢帕，而你正是从毗湿瓦卢帕处得此护甲。因这护甲之力，达提奇之身如今坚固无比；故当向他祈求其身。
