Verse 34

³⁰With Akrura gone away, ill signs came upon the people of Dvaraka: burnings of body and mind again and again, from the gods and from the elements. ³¹Some pointed to this as the reason, dear one, forgetting what had been said before: how can the sight of ill signs come about where he lives who is the dwelling of the sages? ³²When the god was not raining, the king of Kasi gave his own daughter Gandini to Svaphalka, who had come there; and after that it rained among the Kasis. ³³His son is this Akrura, and the power is in him too. Wherever he is, the god rains there, and there are no burnings and no plagues. ³⁴Hearing this word of the old men, and thinking that this by itself is not the cause here, Janardana had Akrura brought and spoke to him.
