kiṁ nu vakṣye ’bhisaṅgamya
pitarau rāma-keśavau
yuddhāt samyag apakrāntaḥ
pṛṣṭas tatrātmanaḥ kṣamam
kim — what; nu — then; vakṣye — will I say; abhisaṅgamya — meeting; pitarau — with My fathers; rāma-keśavau — Balarāma and Kṛṣṇa; yuddhāt — from the battle; samyak — altogether; apakrāntaḥ — fled; pṛṣṭaḥ — questioned; tatra — in that case; ātmanaḥ — for My self; kṣamam — fitting.
“What will I say to My fathers, Rāma and Keśava, when I return to Them after having simply fled the battle? What can I tell Them that will befit My honor?
Śrī Pradyumna here uses the word pitarau, “fathers,” loosely. Lord Balarāma was of course His uncle.
