- You have crossed the illusory energy of Lord Viṣṇu, and because of this you have given up the demoniac mentality and have attained the position of an exalted devotee.
- O respectable one! Vṛtrāsura, who was completely able to subdue his enemy, took his iron club, whirled it around, and then threw it at Indra with his left hand.

- As the Kṛttikās, through Agni, had a child named Skanda, Kṛtadyuti, through Citraketu, became pregnant after eating remnants of food from the sacrifice.

Then Vṛtrāsura, the king of the demons, whirling his trident, which had sharp tongues of flame from the fire of devastation, threw it with great force at Indra. He roared, "O sinful one, you have been killed!"
Jihvā means flame. Āvidhya means he whirled it about.

kha āpatat tad vicalad graholkavan
nirīkṣya duṣprekṣyam ajāta-viklavaḥ
vajreṇa vajrī śata-parvaṇācchinad
bhujaṁ ca tasyoraga-rāja-bhogam
Fearlessly, Indra, seeing the trident, unbearable to behold, rotating in the sky and approaching him like a comet, destroyed it with his thunderbolt made of a hundred bones and also cut off one of Vṛtrāsura’s snake-like arms.
Āpatat means “coming towards him.”
|| 6.12.4 ||
chinnaika-bāhuḥ parigheṇa vṛtraḥ
saṁrabdha āsādya gṛhīta-vajram
hanau tatāḍendram athāmarebhaṁ
vajraṁ ca hastān nyapatan maghonaḥ
Although one of his arms was severed from his body, Vṛtrāsura angrily approached King Indra who was holding his thunderbolt and struck him on the edge of his cheek with an iron mace. He also struck the elephant that carried Indra. Thus Indra dropped the thunderbolt from his hand.
Hanau means on the edge of his cheek.
|| 6.12.5 ||
vṛtrasya karmāti-mahādbhutaṁ tat
surāsurāś cāraṇa-siddha-saṅghāḥ
apūjayaṁs tat puruhūta-saṅkaṭaṁ
nirīkṣya hā heti vicukruśur bhṛśam
The devatās, demons, Cāraṇas and Siddhas, praised Vṛtrāsura's astonishing deed, but seeing Indra’s danger, they greatly lamented, "Alas! Alas!"
Puruhūta is Indra.
|| 6.12.6 ||
indro na vajraṁ jagṛhe vilajjitaś
cyutaṁ sva-hastād ari-sannidhau punaḥ
tam āha vṛtro hara ātta-vajro
