Traducción

[Shiva:] "I know, O gods, how mighty is this kritya [sorcery], born of Tvashtri's ardor, terrible, unyielding to those imperfect in spirit. Assistance must surely be rendered by me to all the celestials. Take this shining armor, born of my own body, O Shakra." Having spoken thus, the giver of boons gave that armor and the mantra; and he [Indra], protected by that armor, advanced against Vritra's host.

Comentario

'Durnivāryā akṛtātmabhiḥ', 'unyielding to those imperfect in spirit' — Shiva reveals something important: the evil kritya is unconquerable for those not perfected within ('akṛtātman'). Victory over it requires not weapons alone, but purity of spirit and grace. It is telling that the armor is given as 'gātrajam', born of the god's own body — grace descends as a part of the Giver. The verse teaches that terrible evil is overcome only by perfection of spirit and grace from above: to one 'imperfect in spirit' it is unconquerable; and true protection is not metal but the grace flowing from the Lord Himself as a part of Him.
