Sanskrit:

नीयमानं तवादेशादस्माभिर्यातनागृहान् ।व्यामोचयन्पातकिनं छित्त्वा पाशान प्रसह्य ते ॥ ९ ॥

ITRANS:

nīyamānaṁ tavādeśādasmābhir yātanā-gṛhānvyāmocayan pātakinaṁchittvā pāśān prasahya te

Translation:

We were bringing the most sinful Ajāmila toward the hellish planets, following your order, when those beautiful persons from Siddhaloka forcibly cut the knots of the ropes with which we were arresting him.

Purport:

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura remarks that the Yamadūtas wanted to bring the Viṣṇudūtas before Yamarāja. If Yamarāja could then have punished the Viṣṇudūtas, the Yamadūtas would have been satisfied.
