indra bale - Indra says; muñi - I; kṛṣṇera - of Lord Kṛṣṇa; kariyāchi - have done; nindana - chastisement and defamation; tāra-i mukhe - from his mouth; sarasvatī - mother Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning; karena stavana - offers prayers.

“Thus Indra thought, ‘I have properly chastised Kṛṣṇa and defamed Him.’ But Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning, took this opportunity to offer prayers to Kṛṣṇa.
