Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu .1.196
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
When Indra was defeated by Kṛṣṇa in the matter of taking the pārijāta plant from heaven, Nārada met Indra and criticized him, “O Indra, great King of heaven, Kṛṣṇa has already defeated Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva. So what can be said of an insignificant demigod like you?” Nārada Muni, of course, was criticizing Indra jokingly, and Indra enjoyed it. In Nārada’s statement it is confirmed that Kṛṣṇa was able to illusion even Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva, as well as Indra. So there is no question of Kṛṣṇa’s power to do the same to lesser living entities.
Nārada spoke these joking words to Indra who was pompously speaking after the battle of arrows for retrieving his parijāta tree. The word “now” (adya) indicates that Indra has just been defeated.
