Translation:
But even as the gopis cried out in this way, Akrura, having at sunrise performed His morning worship and other duties, began to drive the chariot.
But even as the gopis cried out in this way, Akrura, having at sunrise performed His morning worship and other duties, began to drive the chariot.
Purport:
According to some Vaisnava authorities, Akrura offended the gopis by not consoling them when he took Krsna to Mathura, and because of this offense Akrura was later forced to leave Dvaraka and be separated from Krsna during the episode of the Syamantaka jewel. At that time Akrura had to take up an ignoble residence in Varanasi.

Apparently, mother Yasoda and the other residents of Vrndavana were not crying like the gopis, for they sincerely believed Krsna would be coming back within a few days.
