TRANSLATION
King Indra, who performed one hundred sacrifices, received
this prayer of protection from Visvarapa. After conquering the
demons, he enjoyed all the opulences of the three worlds.
PURPORT
This mystical mantric armor given by Visvaripa to Indra, the King of
heaven, acted powerfully, with the effect that Indra was able to conquer
the asuras and enjoy the opulence of the three worlds without impedi-
ments. In this regard, Madhvacarya points out:
vidyah karméni ca sada

anyatha naiva phaladah
prasannoktah phala-pradah
