TRANSLATION
O Nanda Mahārāja, as recorded in history, when there was an irregular, incapable government, Indra having been dethroned, and people were being harassed and disturbed by thieves, this child appeared in order to protect the people and enable them to flourish, and He curbed the rogues and thieves.
PURPORT
Indra is the king of the universe. Demons, thieves and rogues always disturb Indra ( indrāri-vyākulam lokam ), but when  indrāris , the enemies of Indra, become prominent, Kṛṣṇa appears.  Kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam/ indrāri-vyākulam lokam mṛḍayanti yuge yuge  (Bhāg. 1.3.28).
