iti vá¹›ddha-vacaḥ Å›rutvÄ
naitÄvad iha kÄraṇam
iti matvÄ samÄnÄyya
prÄhÄkrÅ«raá¹ janÄrdanaḥ
iti - thus; vá¹›ddha - of the elders; vacaḥ - the words; Å›rutvÄ - having heard; na - not; etÄvat - only this; iha - of the matter at hand; kÄraṇam - the cause; iti - thus; matvÄ - thinking; samÄnÄyya - having him brought back; prÄha - said; akrÅ«ram - to AkrÅ«ra; janÄrdanaḥ - Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Hearing these words from the elders, Lord JanÄrdana, though aware that the absence of AkrÅ«ra was not the only cause of the evil omens, had him summoned back to DvÄrakÄ and spoke to him.
Since Lord Kṛṣṇa is the supreme controller, it was obviously by His will that certain troubles appeared in the city of DvÄrakÄ. Superficially these evils may have been caused by AkrÅ«ra’s absence, and also by the absence of the auspicious Syamantaka jewel. But we should recall that DvÄrakÄ is the eternal abode of Lord Kṛṣṇa; it is a city of divine bliss because the Lord resides there. Still, to execute His pastimes as a prince of this world, Lord Kṛṣṇa did the needful and summoned AkrÅ«ra.
