On knowing the intentions of kamsa through akruura, kR^iShNa started to mathura on the next day morning. Boarding the chariot with balaraama and with the son of shvaphalka, namely akruura, kR^iShNa set forth and they reached the riverbank of yamuna. [13-91]

Keeping kR^iShNa and balaraama on the chariot itself, akruura got down and went to river yamuna for a sacred bath. When he took bath and performed ‘aghamarShaNa kriya’, a Vedic ritual to remove sins, he saw mahAviShNu in those waters, reclining on multi-hooded serpent coach - aadisheSha. [13-92]

akruura has the achievement of aghamarShaNa mantra – mantra siddhi – so he daily used to see aadishSha on completion of his bath and uttering that mantra. But on that day akruura has seen shriihari in the form of a boy before aadishSha. Questioning himself whether kR^iShNa is there on the chariot or not, he turned his face towards chariot. kR^iShNa is there on the chariot. Again h turned his face towards water and there he saw shriihari surrounded with brahma, rudra, indra et al gods worshipping his feet. akruura too eulogised shriihari and the god receiving his worship vanished from waters of yamuna. akruura returned to the chariot, mounted it, and went to mathura by that evening along with kR^iShNa and balaraama. [12-93, 94, 95]
