ITRANS:

rāja-dūtam uvācedaṁbhagavān prīṇayan girāmā bhaiṣṭa dūta bhadraṁ voghātayiṣyāmi māgadham

Translation:

With pleasing words the Lord addressed the messenger sent by the kings: “My dear messenger, I wish all good fortune to you. I shall arrange for the killing of King Magadha. Do not fear.”

Purport:

The statement ma bhaiṣṭa, “do not fear,” is in the plural, being intended for both the messenger and the kings. Similarly, the expression bhadraṁ vaḥ, “blessings unto you,” is also in the plural, expressing a similar intent.
