Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda
TRANSLATION
[The elders said:] Previously, when Lord Indra had withheld rain from Kāsī [Benares], the king of that city gave his daughter Gāndinī to Śvaphalka, who was then visiting him. It soon rained in the kingdom of Kāśī.
PURPORT
Śvaphalka was Akrūra's father, and the citizens felt that the son must have the same power as the father. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī points out that because of Akrūra's relationship with his maternal grandfather, the King of Kāśī, in a time of difficulty Akrūra went to that city.
