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

Sanskrit:

श्रीराजोवाचनिशम्य देव: स्वभटोपवर्णितंप्रत्याह किं तानपि धर्मराज: ।एवं हताज्ञो विहतान्मुरारे-र्नैदेशिकैर्यस्य वशे जनोऽयम् ॥ १ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-rājovācaniśamya devaḥ sva-bhaṭopavarṇitaṁpratyāha kiṁ tān api dharmarājaḥevaṁ hatājño vihatān murārernaideśikair yasya vaśe jano ’yam

Translation:

King Parīkṣit said: O my lord, O Śukadeva Gosvāmī, Yamarāja is the controller of all living entities in terms of their religious and irreligious activities, but his order had been foiled. When his servants, the Yamadūtas, informed him of their defeat by the Viṣṇudūtas, who had stopped them from arresting Ajāmila, what did he reply?

Purport:

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura says that although the statements of the Yamadūtas were fully upheld by Vedic principles, the statements of the Viṣṇudūtas were triumphant. This was confirmed by Yamarāja himself.
