dadhyaṅṅ ātharvaṇas tvaṣṭre
dadhyaṅṅ ātharvaṇas tvaṣṭre
varmābhedyaṁ mad-ātmakam
viśvarūpāya yat prādāt
tvaṣṭā yat tvam adhās tataḥ
Dadhyañca's invincible protective covering known as the Nārāyaṇa-kavaca was given to Tvaṣṭā, who delivered it to his son Viśvarūpa, from whom you have received it.
The armor is made of me. It is the Nārāyaṇa-kavaca. He gave it to Tvaṣṭa. Tvaṣṭā gave it to Viśvarūpa, and Viśvarūpa gave it to you, from which you have become strong (adhāḥ). By this knowledge, request his strong body.
|| 6.9.54 ||
yuṣmabhyaṁ yācito 'śvibhyāṁ
dharma-jño 'ṅgāni dāsyati
tatas tair āyudha-śreṣṭho
viśvakarma-vinirmitaḥ
yena vṛtra-śiro hartā
mat-teja-upabṛṁhitaḥ
When the Aśvinī-kumāras beg for Dadhyañca's body on your behalf, knowing dharma, he will surely give it. When Dadhyañca awards you his body, Viśvakarmā will prepare a thunderbolt from his bones. This thunderbolt will certainly kill Vṛtrāsura because it will be invested with my power.
“Who would give his own body?” This verse explains. He will give to the Aśvinis, out of affection since they are his disciples. Or “Because of giving to the Aśvinis he will also give to you.” By his bones (taiḥ) the best weapon will be made.
|| 6.9.55 ||
tasmin vinihate yūyaṁ
tejo-'strāyudha-sampadaḥ
bhūyaḥ prāpsyatha bhadraṁ vo
na hiṁsanti ca mat-parān
When Vṛtrāsura is killed, you will regain your strength, weapons and wealth. Thus there will be all good fortune for all of you. He and his followers will not harm you, my devotees.
“But we cannot fight with Vṛtrāsura who has devoured everything. You should kill him personally.” Vṛtra and the demons under his control cannot harm you, who are my devotees. Vṛtra desires to give up his body for me, since he is a most exalted devotee. Thus he has no hatred of you, though you have hatred of him.
Thus ends the commentary on the Ninth Chapter of the Sixth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
