But now we see that the punishment ordained under your au-

transgressed by four wonderful and perfect persons.

PURPORT

The Yamaditas had been under the impression that Yamaraja was the
only person in charge of administering justice. They were fully confident
that no one could counteract his judgments, but now, to their surprise,
his order had been violated by the four wonderful persons from Sid-
dhaloka.
