Translation: 

 

As Akrura stood with his head bowed, Lord Sankarsana [Balarama] grasped his joined hands, and then Balarama took him to His house in the company of Lord Krsna. After inquiring from Akrura whether his trip had been comfortable, Balarama offered him a first-class seat, bathed his feet in accordance with the injunctions of scripture and respectfully served him milk with honey.
