Text

My dear MahÄrÄja ParÄ«ká¹£it, O subduer of all enemies, after the servants of YamarÄja had been answered by the order carriers of Lord Viṣṇu, they went to YamarÄja and explained to him everything that had happened.

Purport

In this verse the word pratyuditÄḥ is very significant. The servants of YamarÄja are so powerful that they can never be hindered anywhere, but this time they were baffled and disappointed in their attempt to take away a man they considered sinful. Therefore they immediately returned to YamarÄja and described to him everything that had happened.
