TRANSLATION

King Pariksit said: O my lord, O Sukadeva Gosvami, Yamaraja is
the controller of ail living entities in terms of their religious and
irreligious activities, but his order had been foiled. When his ser-
vants, the Yamaditas, informed him of their defeat by the
Visnuditas, who had stopped them from arresting Ajamila, what
did he reply?

PURPORT

Srila Vigvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says that although the state-
ments of the Yamaditas were fully upheld by Vedic principles, the state-
ments of the Visnuditas were triumphant. This was confirmed by
Yamaraja himself.
