Translation
We were bringing the most sinful Ajāmila toward the hellish planets, following your order, when those beautiful persons from Siddhaloka forcibly cut the knots of the ropes with which we were arresting him.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Those persons forcibly cut the knots of the ropes and freed the sinful person we were bringing to hell in pursuance of your order.
This verse explains how it happened. “If you, the controller, can bring those four persons here and punish them, then our fire of grief will be extinguished.”
Purport
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura remarks that the Yamadūtas wanted to bring the Viṣṇudūtas before Yamarāja. If Yamarāja could then have punished the Viṣṇudūtas, the Yamadūtas would have been satisfied.
