"O Gandharan, when long ago, rising up in battle, the best of the suras were defeated by the daitya Vritra, with bodies torn apart, by the thousands -- when all the heaven-dwellers with Indra, their splendor and strength stripped away, went then for refuge to Brahma, afraid of the great asura Vritra: 'Of the gods crushed by Vritra, O best of gods, be our refuge, O foremost of suras; save us from the great terror.'"

Drona begins the tale of the armor's origin with an ancient calamity: the gods, crushed by Vritra, "brahmāṇaṃ śaraṇaṃ jagmuḥ" -- went for refuge to Brahma. Even the gods in distress seek the highest refuge. It is telling that the motif of "śaraṇam," refuge, runs through the whole myth: salvation lies in turning to the Highest. The verse teaches that refuge (sharana) is the way of salvation for all, even for gods: in the hour of helplessness and fear, the only way out is to fall at the feet of the Highest; and this truth holds equally for gods before Brahma and for men before the Lord.
