Translation
While Indra, the King of the demigods, thought in this way and repented in his own assembly, Bṛhaspati, the most powerful spiritual master, understood his mind. Thus he became invisible to Indra and left home, for Bṛhaspati was spiritually more powerful than King Indra.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
While Indra was thinking in this way, Bṛhaspati, disregarding this, left his house and disappeared by his great power.
Not caring of Indra who was thinking in this way, Bṛhaspati became invisible by his great power (adhyātma-māyayā). Adhi stands for adhika.
