Failing in these attempts, he decided to try to get Him and Sri Balarama to come to Mathura and try to kill them there. So, he organized a festival (viRperu vizhavu) and sent an invitation to them both through Sri Akrura, who was a Yadava and a close relative to Vasudeva. His plan was to kill them through his royal elephant (Kuvalayapeedam) or through his royal wrestlers (Chanura and Mushtika). The wise Akrura had great love for Krishna and knew that He was none other than Sriman Narayana; and that therefore Kamsa's plan would not work. However, wishing to see Krishna and enjoy His presence, he agreed to be the messenger for Kamsa and went to get Krishna and Balarama. All along the way, he thought of Krishna and being in His company. He then met Krishna and Balarama and brought them back with him to Mathura in his chariot. He gained Krishna's grace thus. Thirukkolur Ammal says 'did I (can I) do what Akrura did?'.
