Translation: 

 

Taking advantage of this opportunity, O King, Akrura and Krtavarma went to Satadhanva and said, “Why not take the Syamantaka jewel?

 

Purport: 

 

Akrura and Krtavarma reasoned that since Krsna and Balarama were absent from Dvaraka, Satrajit could be killed and the jewel stolen. Srila Sridhara Svami mentions that these two must have flattered Satadhanva telling him, “You are much braver than we are; so you kill him.”
