Gauḍīya
Translation
With his thunderbolt made of Dadhīci’s bones, Indra simultaneously cut to pieces Vṛtrāsura's club and his remaining hand, which resembled an elephant’s trunk.
Personal Guidance
With his hundred-jointed thunderbolt, Indra simultaneously cut the club and Vṛtra's remaining arm. The Lord-empowered weapon finishes what it started.

- Where am I treating effort as 'enough' when one more stroke is needed?
