TRANSLATION
The Supreme Lord said: I will come to Your house with My elder brother, but first I must satisfy My friends and well-wishers by killing the enemy of the Yadu clan.
PURPORT
Akrūra glorified Kṛṣṇa in Text 16 as yadūttama, "the best of the Yadus." Śrī Kṛṣṇa here confirms this by saying, in effect, "Since I am the best of the Yadus, I must kill the enemy of the Yadus, Kaṁsa, and then I will come to your house."
