Verse Text

tatra kṛṣṇa-vibhāvāḥ – yācitaḥ paṭimabhiḥ syamantakaṁ śauriṇā sadasi gāndinī-sutaḥ | vastra-gūḍha-maṇir eṣa mūḍha-dhīs tatra śuṣyad-adharaḥ klamaṁ yayau ||69||

Translation

Kṛṣṇa as the cause of fear: When Kṛṣṇa asked Akrura for the Syamantaka jewel in the assembly in a friendly way, Akrura, who was hiding the jewel in his clothing, could not answer. He became fearful of Kṛṣṇa, understanding that Kṛṣṇa knew he was hiding the jewel. His mouth dried up and he became sad.
