When the Lord had thus spoken, the messenger conveyed His insulting reply to his master in its entirety. Lord Krishna then mounted His chariot and went to the vicinity of Kasi.

PURPORT

In Krishna, Srila Prabhupada describes this incident as follows: "The messenger carried the words of Lord Krishna to his master, Paundraka, who patiently heard all these insults. Without waiting any longer, Lord Sri Krishna immediately started out in His chariot to punish the rascal Paundraka. Because at that time the King of Karusha [Paundraka] was living with his friend the King of Kasi, Krishna surrounded the whole city of Kasi."
