evaṁ nirākṛto devo

vairiṇā tathya-vādinā

nāmṛṣyat tad-adhikṣepaṁ

totrāhata iva dvipaḥ

evam — thus; nirākṛtaḥ — being defeated; devaḥ — King Indra; vairiṇā — by his enemy; tathya-vādinā — who was competent to speak the truth; na — not; amṛṣyat — lamented; tat — of him (Bali); adhikṣepam — the chastisement; totra — by the scepter or rod; āhataḥ — being beaten; iva — just like; dvipaḥ — an elephant.

TRANSLATION

Since Mahārāja Bali's rebukes were truthful, King Indra did not at all become sorry, just as an elephant beaten by its driver's rod does not become agitated.
