SYNONYMS
nana—various; avajfane—by disrespect; bhatte—Vallabha Bhatta; sodhena—
purifies; bhagavan—the Supreme Personality of Godhead; krsma—Lord Krsna;
yaiche—as; khandilena—cuts down; indrera abhimana—the pride of Indra.

TRANSLATION

By various hints and refutations, Lord Caitanya, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, corrected Vallabha Bhatta exactly as Krsna had cut down the false
pride of Indra.

PURPORT

Indra, the King of heaven, was very proud of his position. Therefore when the
residents of Vrndavana decided not to perform the Indra-yajfia but to perform the
Govardhana-yajfia in accordance with the instructions of Krsna, Indra, because of
his false pride, wanted to chastise the residents of Vrndavana. Thinking himself
extremely powerful, Indra poured incessant rain upon Vrndavana, but Lord Krsna
immediately cut down his pride by lifting the Govardhana Hill as an umbrella to
save the residents of Vrndavana. In this way Krsna proved Indra’s power most in-
significant in the presence of His own omnipotence.
