Translation: "But stop them, 4049 for they must be asked:
Commentary:
4049 The scene here is after judgement. As, in an earthly tribunal, the prisoner or
his advocate is asked why sentence should not be pronounced upon him, so here
those who are proved to have been guilty of wrong are allowed to consider if
anything or anyone can help them. Then comes the exposure of the misleaders.
