śrī-śuka uvācaitthaṁ maghavatājñaptāmeghā nirmukta-bandhanāḥnanda-gokulam āsāraiḥpīḍayām āsur ojasā

Translation:

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: On Indra’s order the clouds of universal destruction, released untimely from their bonds, went to the cowherd pastures of Nanda Mahārāja. There they began to torment the inhabitants by powerfully pouring down torrents of rain upon them.

Purport:

The Sāṁvartaka clouds could cover the entire earth with a single vast ocean. With great strength, these clouds began flooding the simple land of Vraja.
