ITRANS:

śrī-śuka uvācaakrūro ’pi ca tāṁ rātriṁmadhu-puryāṁ mahā-matiḥuṣitvā ratham āsthāyaprayayau nanda-gokulam

Translation:

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: 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.

Purport:

King Kaṁsa ordered Akrūra to go to Vṛndāvana on the Ekādaśī of the dark fortnight of the Vedic month of Phālguna. After spending the night in Mathurā, Akrūra left early the next day. That morning Nārada offered his prayers to Kṛṣṇa in Vṛndāvana, and in the afternoon the demon Vyoma was killed there. At dusk Akrūra entered the Lord’s village.
