TRANSLATION
As soon as the sinful Ajāmila uttered the name Nārāyana, these four beautiful men immediately arrived and reassured him, saying, "Do not fear. Do not fear." We wish to know about them from Your Lordship. If you think we are able to understand them, kindly describe who they are.
PURPORT
The order carriers of Yamarāja, being very much aggrieved because of their defeat by the four Vishnudūtas, wanted to bring them before Yamarāja and, if possible, punish them. Otherwise they desired to commit suicide. Before pursuing either course, however, they wanted to know about the Vishnudūtas from Yamarāja, who is also omniscient.
