| Now, tāṁs te veditum icchāmo, "Now what is the actual fact? Please let us know." Yadi no manyase kṣamam. If you think this is the way of asking superior some force checked, this is the way, not that challenging, "Please answer me. Please tell me like this."

''Yadi no manyase'': "If you think us competent to understand the answer, then please inform." |

| You find always the Parīkṣit Maharaja or Arjuna or anyone, this is the process of submission. Here the Yamadūtas says, "We want to..., we wish to learn from you what is the actual fact in this incident, and you can tell me," yadi no manyase kṣamam, "if you think that we can be able to understand."

| The purport is that if you put a question to a superior, to your master, so it is not that he is bound to answer it. Because sometimes a particular question is put forward, the answer is not understandable by the questioner, so the superior, the master, may refuse, that "This answer is not to be given to you." For that reason, you cannot demand that "You answer. You must answer." No. This is the way.

| Now Yamarāja will reply very interesting reply. So before replying, prītaḥ sva-dūtān pratyāha smaran pādāmbujaṁ hareḥ. This is the Vaisnava behavior. As the subordinate puts the question very submissively, similarly, the superior also is not proud, that "I can answer you." No. | | Now Yamarāja will reply very interesting reply.

| He immediately remembers the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and also begs. Because these answers and questions are not ordinary. They are all authorized. Therefore the master also remembers the lotus feet of the Lord, that "Whatever You help me to speak, I learn."

| Amongst the society, the answers and questions should be dealt in that spirit.
