anapÄyibhiḥ - who have never gone away; asmÄbhiḥ - by us; guptÄyÄḥ - of her who has been well guarded; ca - and; gá¹›he - within the palace; prabho - O master; kanyÄyÄḥ - of the maiden; dÅ«á¹£aṇam - the polluting; pumbhiḥ - by men; duá¹£preká¹£yÄyÄḥ - impossible to be seen; na vidmahe - we do not understand.
“We have been carefully watching over her, never leaving our posts, O master, so we cannot understand how this maiden, whom no man can even see, has been corrupted within the palace.â€
The ÄcÄryas explain that the word anapÄyibhiḥ can mean either “never going away†or “never deluded.†Also, if we take the alternate reading duá¹£preá¹£yÄyÄḥ instead of duá¹£preká¹£yÄyÄḥ, the guards refer to Åªá¹£Ä as “she whose wicked girlfriend has been sent on a mission.â€
