sah-he (Indra); avasat-lived; puskara-nala-tantun-in the network of the fibers of a lotus stem; alabdha-bhogah-not getting any material comfort (practically starving for all material needs); yat-which; iha-here; agni-dutah-the fire-god messenger; varsani-celestial years; sahasram-one thousand; alaksitah-invisible; antah-within his heart; sancintayan-always thinking of; brahma-vadhat-from the killing of a brahmana; vimoksam-liberation.
TRANSLATION
Always thinking of how he could be relieved from the sinful reaction for killing a brahmana, King Indra, invisible to everyone, lived in the lake for one thousand years in the subtle fibers of the stem of a lotus. The fire-god used to bring him his share of all yajnas, but because the fire-god was afraid to enter the water, Indra was practically starving.
