PURPORT

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī gives the following interesting note: "When King Kaḿsa said 'with this chariot,' he pointed with his index finger to a brand-new, attractive chariot. Kaḿsa thought that since Akrūra was innocent by nature, when he saw this fine, new vehicle he would naturally want to drive it and quickly bring the two boys back. But the actual reason Akrūra went on a new chariot was that it would have been clearly inappropriate for the Supreme Personality of Godhead to mount a chariot that had already been enjoyed by the wicked Kaḿsa."
