Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu .1.227
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
In this connection, the following statement given by Indra, the King of heaven, is very significant: “My dear Lord, I admit that I have committed great offenses unto You, but I cannot express my feelings of regret, being bewildered at seeing Your extraordinary chivalrous spirit, Your endeavor to protect Your devotees, Your determination, Your steadiness in lifting the great hill of Govardhana, Your beautiful bodily features and Your astonishing characteristic of being pleased simply by accepting the prayers of Your devotees and offenders.”
These are the words of Indra. “Stealing others’ pride by His smile” indicates His power to obscure others’ pride. “Being eager to deliver those in suffering” indicates His merciful nature. Nirvyūḍha-vrata means “determined in His vows” “Firmness in holding up the mountain” indicates His strength. “Being kind in spite of receiving offenses” indicates His tolerant attitude. “Being controlled by verses of praise” indicates His modesty and not being boastful. Durvitakrya-hṛdaya indicates His inscrutable nature.
