Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Srimad Bhagavatam 10.25.3

aho sri-mada-mahatmyam

gopanam kananaukasam

krsnam martyam upasritya

ye cakrur deva-helanam

SYNONYMS

aho -- just see; sri -- because of opulence; mada -- of intoxication; mahatmyam -- the great extent; gopanam -- of the cowherds; kanana -- in the forest; okasam -- who dwell; krsnam -- Krsna; martyam -- an ordinary human; upasritya -- taking shelter of; ye -- who; cakruh -- have committed; deva -- against the demigods; helanam -- offense.

TRANSLATION

[Indra said:] Just see how these cowherd men living in the forest have become so greatly intoxicated by their prosperity! They have surrendered to an ordinary human being, Krsna, and thus they have offended the gods.

PURPORT

Of course, Indra was really saying that the cowherd men had offended him, Indra, by taking shelter of Krsna, whom Indra considered to be martya, a mortal. This was certainly a gross miscalculation on Indra's part.
