Translation

Flying in the sky, Vṛtrāsura’s trident resembled a brilliant meteor. Although the blazing weapon was difficult to look upon, King Indra, unafraid, cut it to pieces with his thunderbolt. Simultaneously, he cut off one of Vṛtrāsura’s arms, which was as thick as the body of Vāsuki, the King of the serpents.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Fearlessly, Indra, seeing the trident, unbearable to behold, rotating in the sky and approaching him like a comet, destroyed it with his thunderbolt made of a hundred bones and also cut off one of Vṛtrāsura’s snake-like arms. Āpatat means “coming towards him.”
