Translation
With his thunderbolt, King Indra, who was also extremely powerful, pierced through Vṛtrāsura’s abdomen and came out. Indra, the killer of the demon Bala, then immediately cut off Vṛtrāsura’s head, which was as high as the peak of a mountain.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Powerful Indra, killer of Bala, piercing Vṛtrāsura's abdomen with his thunderbolt, emerged from his body and with great force cut off his head, as if cutting the top off a mountain.
Uccakarta means “he cut off.”
