naukāte - on the boat; kālīya-jñāna - knowledge as the Kālīya snake; dīpe - on the torch; ratna-jñāne - consideration as jewels; jāliyāre - the fisherman; mūḍha-loka - foolish men; kṛṣṇa kari' māne - accept as Kṛṣṇa.

“These fools think that the boat is the Kālīya serpent and the torchlight the jewels on his hoods. People also mistake the fisherman for Kṛṣṇa.
