- 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.

cukruśuḥ samaharṣayaḥ
When the devatās, along with Brahmā, other prajāpatis and great sages saw that Indra had been swallowed by the demon, they became dispirited and cried “Ah! What misfortune!”
|| 6.12.31 ||
nigīrṇo 'py asurendreṇa
na mamārodaraṁ gataḥ
mahāpuruṣa-sannaddho
yogamāyā-balena ca
Protected by the Nārāyaṇa-kavaca and by his own mystic power, Indra, although swallowed by Vṛtrāsura, did not die within the demon's belly.
Protected by the Nārāyaṇa-kavaca (mahā-puruṣeṇa) and his power gained through aṣṭāṅga-yoga, he did not die. He remained invisible (māyā) in the form of air by the power of invisibility.
|| 6.12.32 ||
bhittvā vajreṇa tat-kukṣiṁ
niṣkramya bala-bhid vibhuḥ
uccakarta śiraḥ śatror
giri-śṛṅgam ivaujasā
Powerful Indra, killer of Bala, piercing Vṛtrāsura's abdomen with his thunderbolt, emerged from his body and with great force cut off his head, as if cutting the top off a mountain.
Uccakarta means “he cut off.”
|| 6.12.33 ||
vajras tu tat-kandharam āśu-vegaḥ
kṛntan samantāt parivartamānaḥ
nyapātayat tāvad ahar-gaṇena
yo jyotiṣām ayane vārtra-hatye
Although the thunderbolt revolved around and cut Vṛtrāsura's neck with great speed, his head fell of only after the time it took the sun, moon and other luminaries to complete a northern and southern journey, at a time suitable for killing him.
Although the thunderbolt moved quickly and cut all around his neck--not just in one place, since it was very tough--the head, after being cut off, fell to the ground only after a year, after the planets moved through the northern and southern courses. Vārtra-hatye means “at a time suitable for slaying Vṛtrāsura.” Or the suffix ya on hatye may be derived from daṇḍādibhyo yaḥ (Pāṇini 5.1.66). It is added to the words with the meaning “deserving.” Thus the phrase then means “deserving to kill Vṛtrāsura, or for the purpose of killing him.”
