Purport

The demigods in heaven were just as jubilant as the residents of Vṛndāvana, and thus a great universal festival took place.

Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Just as the inhabitants of Vraja were full of bliss, so the devatas were also overjoyed. That is described in this verse.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

Not only the people of Vraja became joyful, but the inhabitants of heaven also celebrated. This is described in two verses. “Since Indra suffered broken pride, why did they act in this way?” They were satisfied and joyful by seeing the sweet pastime of Kṛṣṇa and the destruction of Indra’s pride, which made him commit a criminal act. Or, Śukadeva calls out to Parīkṣit in astonishment, since the devatās rejoiced even though their king had suffered. Or, just as one properly ignores the governor in deference to the king, so the devatās properly ignored Indra in deference to the Supreme Lord. O Parīkṣit, this is known to you. It should be understood that Indra was not angry by having his pride destroyed.
