When Akrūra saw the vision disappear, he came out of the water and quickly finished his various ritual duties. He then returned to the chariot, astonished. KB 10.41.2 After the viṣṇu-mūrti disappeared, Akrūra got out of the water.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

Api ca indicates all that he had previously seen. Seeing that it had all disappeared he came out of the water and completed his mid day rites such as worship of the Lord using water. Viṣṇu Purāṇa says arcayām āsa sarveśaṁ dhūpa-puṣpa-manomayaiḥ: he worshipped the Lord mentally with incense and flowers. This means he offered water to represent the various offerings.
