KB 10.57.29
Akrūra and Kṛtavarmā were prominent members in the conspiracy to kill Satrājit, having incited Śatadhanvā to kill him. So when they heard of the death of Śatadhanvā at Kṛṣṇa’s hand, and when they also heard that Kṛṣṇa had returned to Dvārakā, they both immediately left the city.
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
They quickly fled from Dvaraka to somewhere else, because they were the instigators (prayojika) for Satadhanva killing Satrajit.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
The two previously believed that Śatadhanvā would not be killed since he was known as a Yādava. Now, hearing that he had been killed, they were even more terrified (vi—trastau).
