Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Regarding Akrūra bringing Balarāma and Kṛṣṇa to Mathurā on the order of Kaṃsa, the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.36.30, 37) states: “Please go to Nanda’s village, where the two sons of Ānakadundubhi are living, and without delay bring Them here on this chariot. Now that you understand my intentions, please go at once and bring Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma to watch the bow sacrifice and see the opulence of the Yadus’ capital.” And in Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.38.1): “After passing the night in the city of
Mathurā, the high-minded Akrūra mounted his chariot and set off for the cowherd village of Nanda Mahārāja.”
