I shall tell you the means by which Vritra will be killed. There is a highly intelligent great Rishi, well-known by the name of Dadhichi. Go to him all together and ask from him a boon. That Rishi, of virtuous mind and well pleased heart, will grant you the boon.
तमुपायं प्रवक्ष्यामि यथा वृत्रं वधिष्यथा दधीच इति विख्यातो महानृषिरुदारधीः॥ तं गत्वा सहिताः सर्वे वरं वै सम्प्रयाचत। स वो दास्यतिधर्मात्मा सुप्रीतेनान्तरात्मना॥
