iti vrddha-vacah srutva

 naitavad iha karanam

iti matva samanayya

 prahakruram janardanah

 

Translation: 

 

Hearing these words from the elders, Lord Janardana, though aware that the absence of Akrura was not the only cause of the evil omens, had him summoned back to Dvaraka and spoke to him.

 

Purport: 

 

Since Lord Krsna is the supreme controller, it was obviously by His will that certain troubles appeared in the city of Dvaraka. Superficially these evils may have been caused by Akrura’s absence, and also by the absence of the auspicious Syamantaka jewel. But we should recall that Dvaraka is the eternal abode of Lord Krsna; it is a city of divine bliss because the Lord resides there. Still, to execute His pastimes as a prince of this world, Lord Krsna did the needful and summoned Akrura.
