Translation
O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, Vṛtrāsura, who was completely able to subdue his enemy, took his iron club, whirled it around, aimed it at Indra and then threw it at him with his left hand.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
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.
Āvidhya means “whirling it around.” Māriṣa means “Respectable one!”
