jala-oghaiḥ - by the floodwater; nirabhidyanta - became broken; setavaḥ - the dikes; varṣati - when he is showering rain; īśvare - Lord Indra; pāṣaṇḍinām - of the atheists; asat-vādaiḥ - by the false theories; veda-mārgāḥ - the paths of the Vedas; kalau - in the Kali-yuga; yathā - as.

When Indra sent forth his rains, the floodwaters broke through the irrigation dikes in the agricultural fields, just as in the Kali-yuga the atheists’ false theories break down the boundaries of Vedic injunctions.
