Note 260 — Chapter LXXXI · AKRURA DESCRIBES TO HIM THE MISERIES OF HIS PARENTS.
Manmatha Nath Dutt translation
The Vaishnava writers have variously interpreted this incident. According to them the anecdote is that when Vasudeva was carrying Krishna he slipped off his hand and fell into the water. He however at once picked up the boy. But this time Krishna did not come but Vishnu in Krishna form. When Akrura went to bathe in the Yamuna Krishna came out and went to Mathura while Vishnu lived in Gokula.
