In plain words
Yama's servants came with noose and rod and threw the rope over Ajāmiḷa; four came before them and stopped them. To those four I bow now. Hari, salutation to Nārāyaṇa.
Word for word
The servants who, taking that noose and rod, went first to Ajāmiḷa and cast the rope on him; and the four who came in front of them and stopped them: them too I praise now. Hari, salutation to Nārāyaṇa.
