नटवन्मूढ मायाभिर् मायेशान्नो जिगीषसि ।
जित्वा बालान्निबद्धाक्षान् नटो हरति तद्धनम् ॥ ४ ॥
nata-vat-like a cheater or rogue; mudha-you rascal; mayabhih-by exhibiting illusions; maya-isan-unto the demigods, who can control all such illusory manifestations; nah-unto us; jigisasi-you are trying to become victorious; jitva-conquering; balan-small children; nibaddha-aksan-by binding the eyes; natah-a cheater; harati-takes away; tat-dhanam-the property in the possession of a child.
Indra said: O rascal, as a cheater sometimes binds the eyes of a child and takes away his possessions, you are trying to defeat us by displaying some mystic power, although you know that we are the masters of all such mystic powers.
