King Kamsa ordered Akrura to go to Vrndavana on the Ekadasi of the dark fortnight of the Vedic month of Phalguna. After spending the night in Mathura, Akrura left early the next day. That morning Narada offered his prayers to Krsna in Vrndavana, and in the afternoon the demon Vyoma was killed there. At dusk Akrura entered the Lord's village.
