yusmabhyam—for all of you; ydcitah—being asked; asvibhyam—by
the Asvini-kumaras; dharma-jnah—Dadhici, who knows the principles
of religion; arigani—his limbs; dasyati—will give; tatah—after that;
taih—by those bones; dyudha—of weapons; sresthah—the most power-
ful (the thunderbolt); visvakarma-vinirmitah—manufactured by
Visvakarma; yena—by which; vrtra-sirah—the head of Vrtrasura;
harta—will be taken away; mat-tejah—by My strength: upabrmhitah—
increased.

TRANSLATION

When the Aévini-kumaras beg for Dadhyajica’s body on your
behalf, he will surely give it because of affection. Do not doubt
this, for Dadhyajica is very experienced in religious understand-
ing. When Dadhyajica awards you his body, Visvakarma will pre-
pare a thunderbolt from his bones. This thunderbolt will certainly
kill Vrtrasura because it will be invested with My power.
