śrī-śukaḥ uvāca - Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; evam - thus; bhagavatā - by the Supreme Lord; pṛṣṭaḥ - questioned; vacasā - with words; amṛta - nectar; varṣiṇā - which rained; gata - gone; klamaḥ - his fatigue; abravīt - he said; tasmai - to Him; yathā - as; pūrvam - before; anuṣṭhitam - executed.

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Thus questioned by the Personality of Godhead in language that poured down upon him like sweet nectar, Vṛka felt relieved of his fatigue. He described to the Lord everything he had done.
