न तस्य हि त्वचमपि वज्र ऊर्जितो बिभेद य: सुरपतिनौजसेरित: । तदद्भुतं परमतिवीर्यवृत्रभित् तिरस्कृतो नमुचिशिरोधरत्वचा ॥ ३२ ॥
na tasya hi tvacam api vajra urjito bibheda yah sura-patinaujaseritah tad adbhutam param ativirya-vrtra-bhit tiraskrto namuci-sirodhara-tvaca
- na
- not
- tasya
- of him (Namuci)
- hi
- indeed
- tvacam api
- even the skin
- vajrah
- the thunderbolt
- urjitah
- very powerful
- bibheda
- could pierce
- yah
- the weapon which
- sura-patina
- by the king of the demigods
- ojasa
- very forcefully
- iritah
- had been released
- tat
- therefore
- adbhutam param
- it was extraordinarily wonderful
- ativirya-vrtra-bhit
- so powerful that it could pierce the body of the very powerful Vrtrasura
- tiraskrtah
- (now in the future) which had been repelled
- namuci-sirodhara-tvaca
- by the skin of Namuci’s neck
Although King Indra hurled 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.
