TRANSLATION

Recognizing Akrūra, Lord Kṛṣṇa drew him close with His hand, which bears the sign of the chariot wheel, and then embraced him. Kṛṣṇa felt pleased, for He is always benignly disposed toward His surrendered devotees.

PURPORT

According to the ācāryas, by extending His hand marked with the chariot wheel, or cakra, Lord Kṛṣṇa indicated His ability to kill Kaṁsa.
