Viśvakarmâ, continuing his speech, said that, under the circumstances, he would like to diminish his power, provided the Sun would willingly accord him permission to do so. He suggested that he would reduce his power by means of a special instrument, after which he would become agreeably strong to every one; to which the Sun agreed, and Viśvakarmâ by his instrument, Bhramî, sliced away some portions of the Sun’s unbearable power. Viśvakarmâ then made a quoit (Chakra) for Viṣṇu, a trident for Śiva and a Vajra (thunderbolt) for Indra to destroy the Daityas and Dânavas out of the particles of power that he took away from the Sun. The Sun after that, became fairly agreeable; but as he did not allow any power to be reduced from his feet, they continued to be very dazzling.—27-30. Note.—The feet of the Sun mean the rays.
