The demon now began to strike the Lord with his hard fists, but Lord Adhokṣaja slapped him in the root of the ear, even as Indra, the lord of the Maruts, hit the demon Vṛtra.

The Lord is explained here to be adhokṣaja, beyond the reach of all material calculation. Akṣaja means “the measurement of our senses,” and adhokṣaja means “that which is beyond the measurement of our senses.”

Translation
When the demon began hitting the Lord with fists hard as thunderbolts, the Lord hit him below the ear with his hand, just as Indra struck Vṛtrāsura. Tam refers the demon. Vrāstram is Vṛtrāsura and marutpati is Indra.
