Ajāmila Delivered by the Viṣṇudūtas
113
PURPORT
Vaiṣṇavas are also Viṣṇudūtas because they carry out the orders of Kṛṣṇa. Lord Kṛṣṇa is very eager for all the conditioned souls rotting in this material world to surrender to Him and be saved from material pangs in this life and punishment in hellish conditions after death. A Vaiṣṇava therefore tries to bring conditioned souls to their senses. Those who are fortunate like Ajāmila are saved by the Viṣṇudūtas, or Vaiṣṇavas, and thus they return back home, back to Godhead.

tam —him (Ajāmila);  vivakṣum —desiring to speak;  abhipretya —understanding;  mahāpuruṣa-kiṅkarāḥ —the order carriers of Lord Viṣṇu;  sahasā —suddenly;  paśyataḥ tasya —while he looked on;  tatra —there;  antardadhire —disappeared;  anagha —O sinless Mahārāja Parikṣit.
TRANSLATION
O sinless Mahārāja Parikṣit, the order carriers of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Viṣṇudūtas, saw that Ajāmila was attempting to say something, and thus they suddenly disappeared from his presence.
