the skin; vajrah—the thunderbolt; aritah—very powerful; bibheda—
could pierce; yah—the weapon which; sura-patind—by the king of the
demigods; ojasé—very forcefully; iritah—had been released; tat—
therefore; adbhutam param—it was extraordinarily wonderful; ati-
virya-vrtra-bhit—so powerful that it could pierce the body of the very
powerful Vrtrasura; tiraskrtah—(now in the future) which had been

Although King Indra burled his thunderbolt at Namuci with
great force, it could not even pierce his skin. It is very wonderful
that the famed thunderbolt that had pierced the body of Vrtrasura
could not even slightly injure the skin of Namuci’s neck.
