Indra thought: Formerly, when many mountains flying in the sky with wings would fall to the ground and kill people, I cut their wings with this same thunderbolt.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Formerly, with this same thunderbolt I cut off the wings of mountains when mountains had wings and the mountains would fall on the ground with their weight to kill people. This verse is connected to the words “that thunderbolt” in verse 36. By that thunderbolt I cut off the wings of mountains which were embellished with wings and the mountains would fell on the earth with their weight to kill people.
