Advertisements
Solution
The supreme sacrifice of the sage Dadhichi makes Indra's vajra invincible. The vajra was crafted using the spine of the sage Dadhichi, who willingly sacrificed his body to help Indra defeat his enemies, particularly the demon Vritra. Because it was made from the sage’s bones, infused with his immense spiritual power and purity, the weapon gained extraordinary strength. This combination of divine material and sacrifice made Indra’s vajra indestructible and capable of overcoming any adversary.
