Translation: 

 

Thus slow-witted King Paundraka sent a messenger to the inscrutable Lord Krsna at Dvaraka. Paundraka was acting just like an unintelligent child whom other children are pretending is a king.

 

Purport: 

 

According to Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, the reason Sukadeva Gosvami here mentions for the second time that Paundraka sent a message to Lord Krsna is that the great sage is astonished at Paundraka’s extreme foolishness.
