Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda

TRANSLATION

"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?

PURPORT

Śrī Pradyumna here uses the word pitarau, "fathers," loosely. Lord Balarāma was of course His uncle.
