TRANSLATION
Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Thus having been questioned, Lord Yamarāja, the supreme controller of the living entities, was very pleased with his order carriers because of hearing from them the holy name of Nārāyana. He remembered the lotus feet of the Lord and began to reply.
PURPORT
Śrīla Yamarāja, the supreme controller of the living entities in terms of their pious and impious activities, was very pleased with his servants because they had chanted the holy name of Nārāyana in his dominion. Yamarāja has to deal with men who are all sinful and who can hardly understand Nārāyana. Consequently when his order carriers uttered the name of Nārāyana, he was extremely pleased, for he also is a Vaishnava.
