O Maghavan [Indra], all good fortune unto you. I advise you to approach the exalted saint Dadhyaṣca [Dadhīci]. He has become very accomplished in knowledge, vows and austerities, and his body is very strong. Go ask him for his body without delay.

Everyone in this material world, from Lord Brahmā down to the ant, is eager to keep his body comfortable. A pure devotee may also be comfortable, but he is not eager for such a benediction. Since Maghavan, the King of heaven, still aspired for a comfortable bodily situation, Lord Viṣṇu advised him to ask Dadhyaṣca for his body, which was very strong due to his knowledge, vows and austerity.

Translation
O Indra! All good fortune unto you! I advise you to approach the exalted sage Dadhīci. Without delay, go and ask him for his body, which is strong because of knowledge, vows and austerities. If you will die because of not having material objects for bodily pleasure, then listen to the method I will teach. Ask for his body which is firm because of knowledge, vows and austerities.
