Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 22


Sanskrit:

एतस्मिन्नन्तरे यामैर्दूतैर्नीतो यमक्षयम् ।यमेन पृष्टस्तत्राहं देवदेव जगत्पते ॥ २२ ॥

ITRANS:

etasminn antare yāmairdūtair nīto yama-kṣayamyamena pṛṣṭas tatrāhaṁdeva-deva jagat-pate

Translation:

O Lord of lords, O master of the universe, the agents of Yamarāja, taking advantage of the opportunity thus created, later carried me to his abode. There Yamarāja himself questioned me.

Purport:

According to the ācāryas, the King’s performance of fruitive activities had previously been flawless. But now an inadvertent discrepancy had arisen, and so when the King died the Yamadūtas took him to the abode of Yamarāja, called Saṁyamanī.
