Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda
TRANSLATION
"We have been carefully watching over her, never leaving our posts, O master, so we cannot understand how this maiden, whom no man can even see, has been corrupted within the palace."
PURPORT
The ācāryas explain that the word anapāyibhiḥ can mean either "never going away" or "never deluded." Also, if we take the alternate reading duṣpreṣyāyāḥ instead of duṣprekṣyāyāḥ, the guards refer to Ūṣā as "she whose wicked girlfriend has been sent on a mission."
