hena-kāle - exactly at this time; nindā śuni' - by hearing the criticism (of Lord Caitanya by the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs); śekhara tapana - Candraśekhara and Tapana Miśra; duḥkha pāñā - feeling very unhappy; prabhu-pade - unto the lotus feet of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; kailā nivedana - submitted a request.

At this time, Candraśekhara and Tapana Miśra both heard blasphemous criticism against Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and felt very unhappy. They came to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s lotus feet to submit a request.
