kim - what; nu - rather; naḥ - our; kuśalam - about the well-being; pṛcche - I should inquire; edhamāne - when he is prospering; kula - of our family; āmaye - the disease; kaṁse - King Kaṁsa; mātula-nāmnā - by the name 'maternal uncle'; aṅga - my dear; svānām - of the relatives; naḥ - our; tat - his; prajāsu - of the citizens; ca - and.

But, my dear Akrūra, as long as King Kaṁsa — that disease of our family who goes by the name “maternal uncle” — is still prospering, why should I even bother to ask about the well-being of our family members and his other subjects?
