sa bhavān suhṛdāḿ vai naḥ
śreyān śreyaś-cikīrṣayā
jijñāsārthaḿ pāṇḍavānāḿ
gacchasva tvaḿ gajāhvayam
sah -- that person; bhavan -- you; suhridam -- of the well-wishers; vai -- certainly; nah -- Our; sreyan -- the very best; sreyah -- for their welfare; cikirshaya -- wishing to arrange; jijnasa -- of inquiry; artham -- for the sake; pandavanam -- about the sons of Pandu; gacchasva -- please go; tvam -- you; gaja-ahvayam -- to Gajahvaya (Hastinapura, the capital of the Kuru dynasty).
You are indeed the best of Our friends, so please go to Hastinapura and, as the well-wisher of the Pandavas, find out how they are doing.
In Sanskrit the imperative "you go" may be rendered by gacchasva or gaccha. In the second of these cases, the word following gaccha, namely sva, which is taken in the vocative sense, indicates Krishna addressing Akrura as "Our own." This is in reference to Lord Krishna's intimate relationship with His uncle.
