अभूदाविर्हरिः प्राह 'प्रीतोऽहं विबुधर्षभाः ।

मघवन्यात भद्रं वो दध्यञ्चमृषिसत्तमम् ।

विद्याव्रततपस्सारं गात्रं याचत मा चिरम् ।

स वा अधिगतो दध्यङ् धर्मज्ञोऽङ्गानि दास्यति ॥

ततस्तैरायुधश्रेष्ठो विश्वकर्मविनिर्मितः ।

येन वृत्रशिरो हर्ता मत्तेजउ पबृंहितः ॥'

and beg of him his body, strong with his
Mantra, austerities and penances; tarry

not. Sought by you, that sage who

knows the Dharma will give his limbs (to

you and then, there shall be an excellent

weapon made out of those limbs by

Visvakarman, by which, you shall,

reinforced by my power, take off the head

of Vritra."
