After hearing this statement, Akrūra could clearly understand that Dhṛtarāṣṭra was not going to change his policy of discriminating against the Pāṇḍavas in favor of his sons. He at once took leave of his friends in Hastināpura and returned to his home in the kingdom of the Yadus.
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Knowing the intention of Dhrtarasta (abhiprayam), who would not give up his partiality to his own sons, Akrura returned to Mathura.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Understanding that the king would not give up his prejudice, he returned to Mathurā. As a king, Dhṛtarāṣṭra feared that if Yudhiṣṭhira became king (by his showing equality), his reign would be finished. He took permission from the Pāṇḍavas and left.
