Translation
Although Indra searched vigorously with the assistance of the other demigods, he could not find Bṛhaspati. Then Indra thought, “Alas, my spiritual master has become dissatisfied with me, and now I have no means of achieving good fortune.” Although Indra was surrounded by demigods, he could not find peace of mind.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Searching for a method of finding him by using his intelligence, Indra, surrounded by the devatās, was unsuccessful, and could not find peace of mind.
Looking in all ways for a method of knowing (samjṣām) where Bṛhaspati was, he was unsuccessful.
