My Lord, we, the various demigods, the directors of this universe, have come to Your lotus feet. Please fulfill the purpose for which we have come. You are the witness of everything, from within and without. Nothing is unknown to You, and therefore it is unnecessary to inform You again of anything.
Purport

As stated in Bhagavad-gītā (13.3) , kṣetra-jṣaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata. The individual souls are proprietors of their individual bodies, but the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the proprietor of all bodies. Since He is the witness of everyone’s body, nothing is unknown to Him. He knows what we need. Our duty, therefore, is to execute devotional service sincerely, under the direction of the spiritual master. Kṛṣṇa, by His grace, will supply whatever we need in executing our devotional service. In the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, we simply have to execute the order of Kṛṣṇa and guru. Then all necessities will be supplied by Kṛṣṇa, even if we do not ask for them.

Translation
Please accomplish the purpose for which we, the protectors of all the planets, have come to your lotus feet. O soul within everything! What else can be informed to you, the witness of everything? Please accomplish what we came for (yad arthāḥ). If you say, “Please tell me clearly what you want” then we say that you are the soul with all. You witness everything unlimitedly. What other thing can we inform to you?
