sneha - by affection; anubaddha - bound up; hṛdayau - their hearts; anyonyam - mutually; viṣṇu-māyayā - by the illusory potency of Lord Viṣṇu; vimohitau - completely bewildered; dīna-dhiyau - weak-minded; śiśūn - their children; pupuṣatuḥ - they nourished; prajāḥ - their progeny.

Their hearts bound to each other by affection, the foolish birds, completely bewildered by the illusory energy of Lord Viṣṇu, continued to take care of the young offspring who had been born to them.
