KB 10.63.50
When Bāṇāsura was blessed by Lord Kṛṣṇa in this way, he came before the Lord and bowed down before Him, touching his head to the earth. Bāṇāsura immediately arranged to have his daughter Ūṣā seated with Aniruddha on a nice chariot, and then he presented them before Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Banasura (sa) put Aniruddha on a chariot with his bride (vadhva).
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Though Bāṇa had seen the Lord before, now by his mercy he offered respects to the Lord who was glorious for attracting everyone’s mind (kṛṣṇam). He brought the couple close to Kṛṣṇa with many ornaments (sam—upa—anayat).
Purport (Sanatana Goswami)
Thus or in this way (iti), attaining no fear, the demon, having received Kṛṣṇa’s mercy, offered respects with his head to Kṛṣṇa, who attracts all hearts, who is bhagavān, giving mercy to even a demon. He could not offer respects on the ground since blood was flowing from his severed arms.
Or he offered respects to Kṛṣṇa, the form of the highest bliss. Just by offering respects all pain disappeared and he became a devotee. Then he brought Aniruddha with his bride near to Kṛṣṇa, while bearing many gifts, with his head bowed (śīrasā).
