Translation: 

 

Lord Krsna honored Akrura, greeted him confidentially and spoke pleasant words with him. Then the Lord, who was fully aware of Akrura’s heart by virtue of His being the knower of everything, smiled and addressed him: “O master of charity, surely the opulent Syamantaka jewel was left in your care by Satadhanva and is still with you. Indeed, We have known this all along.

 

Purport: 

 

Lord Krsna’s treatment of Akrura here confirms that he is actually a great devotee of the Lord.
