ity uktaḥ prasthito dūto
yathā-vad avadan nṛpān
te ’pi sandarśanaṁ śaureḥ
pratyaikṣan yan mumukṣavaḥ

iti — thus; uktaḥ — addressed; prasthitaḥ — departed; dūtaḥ — the messenger; yathā-vat — accurately; avadat — he told; nṛpān — the kings; te — they; api — and; sandarśanam — the audience; śaureḥ — of Lord Kṛṣṇa; pratyaikṣan — awaited; yat — because; mumukṣavaḥ — being eager for liberation.

Thus addressed, the messenger departed and accurately relayed the Lord’s message to the kings. Eager for freedom, they then waited expectantly for their meeting with Lord Kṛṣṇa.

The great Vaiṣṇava scholar Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī comments here that by force of circumstances the kings began focusing their attention on Lord Kṛṣṇa alone.
