 vairina tathya-vadina

namrsyat tad-adhiksepam

 totrahata iva dvipah

 

Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

Since Maharaja 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.
