Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 6.2.21

iti pratyuditā yāmyā

dūtā yātvā yamāntikam

yama-rājñe yathā sarvam

ācacakṣur arindama

SYNONYMS

iti — thus; pratyuditāḥ — having been replied to (by the order carriers of Viṣṇu); yāmyāḥ — the servants of Yamarāja; dūtāḥ — the messengers; yātvā — going; yama-antikam — to the abode of Lord Yamarāja; yama-rājñe — unto King Yamarāja; yathā — duly; sarvam — everything; ācacakṣuḥ — informed in full detail; arindama — O subduer of the enemies.

TRANSLATION

My dear Mahārāja Parīkṣit, O subduer of all enemies, after the servants of Yamarāja had been answered by the order carriers of Lord Viṣṇu, they went to Yamarāja and explained to him everything that had happened.

PURPORT

In this verse the word pratyuditāḥ is very significant. The servants of Yamarāja are so powerful that they can never be hindered anywhere, but this time they were baffled and disappointed in their attempt to take away a man they considered sinful. Therefore they immediately returned to Yamarāja and described to him everything that had happened.
