  • abhivandya — having offered respects
    Abhi + √vand. Kṛṣṇa Himself (named in the next compound) offers vandana to Yudhiṣṭhira — Bhagavān bowing to His own bhakta, a Vaiṣṇava signature.
  • bhīma-arjuna-janārdanāḥ — Bhīma, Arjuna, and Kṛṣṇa
    Janārdana — He who agitates the wicked. Listed third, last, almost incidental. Gauḍīyas treasure such verses where Bhagavān is placed as one-of-three among His devotees by rasa-camouflage.
  • āśrāvayām cakruḥ — they made (Yudhiṣṭhira) hear
    Causative of √śru. Kṛṣṇa-kathā in its most local form — the day's events narrated to a beloved bhakta. The very form of śravaṇa-bhakti, occurring naturally inside the līlā.
  • anuṣṭhitam — executed / carried out
    Past passive participle of anu + √sthā. The three (ātmanā — 'by themselves') credit themselves with the deed; the next verse will reveal Yudhiṣṭhira sees Keśava behind it all.
Bhīma, Arjuna and Janārdana offered their respects to the King and informed him fully about what they had done.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Bhīma, Arjuna and Janārdana offered their respects to the King and informed him fully about what they had done.
Jīva Gosvāmī Gauḍīya
Commentary

After blowing the conch (atha), without much time elapsing, since they arrived quickly, since the king came to meet them, they offered respects to the king. Kṛṣṇa offered respects last out of modesty. Out of affection he sent Arjuna first. Also he also stayed behind because he was very shy to assist in killing Jarāsandha since he was the crest jewel of good conduct. He was the killer of the wicked (janardanaḥ). They informed him what they had all done (ātmanā), since telling what they themselves did was not proper, and because of the bliss arising from their prema. They described the skill of the others.

Three voices fill in the report — and Janārdana stands among Bhīma and Arjuna as one of three. The Lord of the universe debriefs the elder brother like a younger soldier home from a mission. This humility is not pretense; it is rasa.
