O great sage, never before has it been heard anywhere that an order from Yamarāja has been baffled. Therefore I think that people will have doubts about this that no one but you can eradicate. Since that is my firm conviction, kindly explain the reasons for these events.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

O sage! Previously it has not been heard from anyone that the punishment of Yama can be avoided. I have concluded that, other than you, no one can eradicate this doubt. O sage! From no one (kutaścana) has it been heard previously. Etat should be enam.
