English translation:

(273-276) “If You say that despite their attack, demons like Kaṃsa were also delivered, then consider what qualities they had. Those kings constantly saw You. They fought with You according to kṣatriya principles and constantly thought of You in fear. Yet they could not avoid the sin of attacking You, and as a result they and their dynasties were destroyed.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

“During the svayaṃvara, the opposing kings could see Your various hidden intentions.” (See Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Tenth Canto, Chapters Fifty-three and Fifty-four.)
