When Lord Viṣṇu accepted the oblations offered in the sacrifice, Dakṣa, the Prajāpati, began with great pleasure to offer respectful prayers unto Him. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is actually the master of all sacrifices and preceptor of all the Prajāpatis, and He is served even by such personalities as Nanda and Sunanda.

Translation
With folded hands and concentrated mind, Dakṣa joyfully offering prayers, surrendered to the Lord, the master of sacrifice, the supreme guru, who accepts the offerings of sacrifice in the best vessels, and who is surrounded by Sunanda and Nanda.
Sādana means vessel. The Lord accepts the offerings in the best vessels. Another reading has gṛhītvā. The meaning is then “Dakṣa, taking the best vessels and offerings, praised the Lord and surrendered.”
