Purport: As explained by Acarya Visvanatha Cakravarti, the word pratyagrhnan (“they acknowledged in turn”) indicates that first Sudama accepted the servants within his mind, deciding “My Lord must want me to have them,” and in response to the visible change in his attitude, they approached him as their master.
