  • mātṛ-śoka-apanuttaye — for the dispelling of the mother's grief
    Compound + dative: mātṛ (mother) + śoka (grief) + apanutti (removal). The express purpose of the entire Sutala-mission. Gauḍīyas note: Bhagavān moves continents to remove a single bhakta's grief.
  • śāpāt vinirmuktāḥ — released from the curse
    Ablative + past participle: śāpa (curse) + vi + nir + √muc. The brothers' karmic situation resolves the moment they fulfill their mother's wish. The yogic principle: completing the relational debt dissolves the binding.
  • vijvarāḥ — freed from all suffering
    Compound: vi (without) + jvara (fever). The body of suffering is a 'fever' the soul carries. To be vi-jvara is to walk out of the disease. The whole Bhāgavatam aims at this state.
  • praṇeṣyāmaḥ — We shall lead away
    Future tense of pra + √nī. Kṛṣṇa speaks as 'We' — He and Balarāma act in pair throughout this chapter. The royal-divine plural is also the dual of the two brothers.
We wish to take them from this place to dispel their mother’s sorrow. Then, released from their curse and free from all suffering, they will return to their home in heaven.

As pointed out by Śrīla Prabhupāda in his purports to Chapter Two, texts 5 and 8, of this canto, Marīci’s sons were condemned for their offense against Lord Brahmā, and in addition Hiraṇyakaśipu once cursed them to be killed by their own father in a future life. This curse was fulfilled by Vasudeva’s letting Kaṁsa murder them one by one.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
We wish to take them from this place to dispel their mother's sorrow. Then, released from their curse and free from all suffering, they will return to their home in heaven.
Commentary

Being freed of the curse of Hiranyakasipu that they would be killed by their father, and brought back by me, they then will go to deva loka.

Jīva Gosvāmī Gauḍīya
Commentary

Kṛṣṇa states his desire in two verses. We will take them with affection (pra—neṣyamaḥ). The plural expresses the dual number according to the rule asmado dvayoś ca (Pāṇini 1.2.59) This will be beneficial for them. Instead of śapād vinirmuktāḥ sometimes śapa-vinirmuktāḥ is seen. They will be freed (muktāḥ) from demonic nature (vi) and from demonic bodies (ni). Therefore they will be free of all suffering (vijvarāḥ). They will then return to their place where they existed before they became demons’ sons since they still have desires for enjoyment.

Śrīdhara Svāmī Gauḍīya
Commentary

We will take the sons affectionately or necessarily (pra-neṣyāmaḥ). The plural is used to indicate his determination to take them. This is to relieve their mother of lamentation. After that, they will be completely released (vinirmuktāḥ) from Brahmā’s curse caused by their laughter. Thus they will be without grief (vijvarāḥ). They will go to their planet, to satisfy their associates.

A debt that has been compounding for ages is settled with a single visit. Once Devakī sees them, the curse is paid, and the six can return to their original home. The mother's tears are the receipt that closes the account.
