Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ« continued: My dear King, while the son of Åšvaphalka, traveling on the road, thus meditated deeply on ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa, he reached Gokula as the sun was beginning to set.
ÅšrÄ«la ÅšrÄ«dhara SvÄmÄ« comments that although AkrÅ«ra did not even notice the road, being deeply absorbed in meditation on Lord Kṛṣṇa, he still reached Gokula on his chariot.
