Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Today, O Lord, my home has become most fortunate because You have entered it. As the Supreme Truth, You embody the forefathers, ordinary creatures, human beings and demigods, and the water that has washed Your feet purifies the three worlds. Indeed, O transcendent one, You are the spiritual master of the universe. KB 10.48.25 “My dear Lord, today my home has been purified by Your presence. I have become the most fortunate person in the world. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is worshipable by all different kinds of demigods, Pitās, kings, emperors and other living entities and who is the Supersoul of everything, has come into my home. The water of His lotus feet purifies the three worlds, and now He has kindly come to my place.

Purport

Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī has nicely interpreted Akrūra’s feelings as follows: Akrūra said, “My Lord, although I am a householder, today my home has become more pious than the forests where sages perform austerities. Why? Simply because You have entered my home. Indeed, You are the personification of the deities who preside over the five sacrifices a householder must perform daily to atone for unavoidable violence committed to living beings in the home. You are the spiritual truth behind all these creations, and now You have entered my home.” The five daily sacrifices enjoined for a householder are (1) sacrifice to Brahman by studying the Vedas, (2) sacrifice to the forefathers by making offerings to them, (3) sacrifice to all creatures by putting aside a portion of one’s meals, (4) sacrifice to human beings by extending hospitality and (5) sacrifice to the demigods by performing fire sacrifices and so on.

Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

"Our house which you, the Supreme Lord, and as well the embodiment of pitras, bhutas, human and devas, have entered has become blessed."

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

I am the special object of your mercy among the Yadus. O Lord of all beings! We (our houses) are more fortunate than Bali and other devotees because in you exist all devas, Pitṛs, kings and other entities when you appeared as your expansion Yajña. Appearing as your expansion Vāmana, your foot water purifies the three worlds. You are greater (guru) than all universes and all your expansions (avatāras) and you have entered my houses (yāḥ). The plural is used to indicate that Kṛṣṇa not only entered Akrūra’s house but the houses of many Yadus. Since you are guru of the universe you know everything (adhokṣaja).

Purport (Sanatana Goswami)

I am constantly receiving your mercy. O lord of the universe, most rare (iśa)! You embody all the devatās. You are the conclusion of all debts to them. You are all sacred places for all who living this world. You are the guru of the universe. This means you are Nārāyaṇa. You rule Vaikuṇṭha. You came back to life under the axel of the cart (adhokṣaja). You live in Gokula.
