Translation
Kṛṣṇa first offered respects to the lotus feet of His guru. He then offered respects to His father and elder brother. Then with folded hands and words, He offered respects to the elders of the Yadu dynasty in proper order.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
When superior persons assembled before Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa first of all offered respect to His spiritual master, then to His father, and then to His elder brother, Balarāma. In this way Lord Kṛṣṇa, the lotus-eyed, was completely happy and pure at heart in all of His dealings.
