- taking back his child
- yayau
- left that place
- ānakadundubhiḥ
- Vasudeva
- na abhyanandata

- tat-vākyam
- the words (of Kaṁsa)
- asataḥ
- who was without character

Vasudeva agreed and took his child back home, but because Kaṁsa had no character and no self-control, Vasudeva knew that he could not rely on Kaṁsa’s word.
