The crux seems to be āvidhāt. While most dictionaries, following Monier Williams, give meanings like ‘drill’, the addenda to the Petersburg dictionary (at http://gretil.sub.uni-goettingen.de/gretil/6_sres/2_dict/schnzsw_u.htm) add the meaning udreka, i.e. ‘abundance’ etc.

With this meaning the line can be interpreted as varcasvam āyuṣyam ārogyam (subject), āvidhāt (ablative) ‘on account of abundance’, sobhamānam (quasi-predicate participle) ‘shining, beautiful’, mahīyate ‘prospers, is exalted'
