tathā - very well; iti - thus; sutam ādāya - taking back his child; yayau - left that place; ānakadundubhiḥ - Vasudeva; na abhyanandata - did not very much value; tat-vākyam - the words (of Kaṁsa); asataḥ - who was without character; avijita-ātmanaḥ - and without self-control.

Vasudeva agreed and took his child back home, but because Kaṁsa had no character and no self-control, Vasudeva knew that he could not rely on Kaṁsa’s word.
