Translation
Indra said: O fool! You, like an actor, want to defeat us, who are masters of mystic powers by displaying your power. An actor sometimes binds the eyes of a child and takes away his possessions. Indra begins speaking. The actor, conquering a child by binding his eyes, takes away his money. Similarly you desire to conquer us.
