Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 6 - Chapter 1 - Verse 21


Sanskrit:

इति प्रत्युदिता याम्या दूता यात्वा यमान्तिकम् ।यमराज्ञे यथा सर्वमाचचक्षुररिन्दम ॥ २१ ॥

ITRANS:

iti pratyuditā yāmyādūtā yātvā yamāntikamyama-rājñe yathā sarvamācacakṣur arindama

Translation:

My dear Mahārāja Parīkṣit, O subduer of all enemies, after the servants of Yamarāja had been answered by the order carriers of Lord Viṣṇu, they went to Yamarāja and explained to him everything that had happened.

Purport:

In this verse the word pratyuditāḥ is very significant. The servants of Yamarāja 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 Yamarāja and described to him everything that had happened.
