243

When the demigods, along with Brahmā, other prajāpatis and other great saintly persons, saw that Indra had been swallowed by the demon, they became very morose. “Alas,” they lamented. “What a calamity! What a calamity!”

निगीर्णोऽप्यसुरेन्द्रेण न ममारोदरं गतः । महापुरुषसन्नद्धो योगमायाबलेन च ॥३१॥
nigīrṇa 'py asurendreṇa na mamārodaraṁ gataḥ mahāpuruṣa-sannaddho yogamāyā-balena ca
nigīrṇaḥ —swallowed;  api —although;  asura-indreṇa —by the best of the demons,  Vṛtrāsura ;  na —not;  mamāra —died;  udaram —the abdomen;  gataḥ —reaching;  mahā-puruṣa —by the armor of the Supreme Lord,  Nārāyaṇa ;  sannaddhaḥ —being protected;  yoga-māyā-balena —by the mystic power that Indra himself possessed;  ca —also.
TRANSLATION
The protective armor of  Nārāyaṇa , which Indra possessed, was identical with  Nārāyaṇa  Himself, the Supreme Personality of God-head. Protected by that armor and by his own mystic power, King Indra, although swallowed by  Vṛtrāsura , did not die within the demon's belly.
