PURPORT

In Sanskrit the imperative "you go" may be rendered by gacchasva or gaccha. In the second of these cases, the word following gaccha, namely sva, which is taken in the vocative sense, indicates Krishna addressing Akrūra as "Our own." This is in reference to Lord Krishna's intimate relationship with His uncle.
