PURPORT
Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the complete form of all existence, both material and spiritual.  Akhila  means complete, or that which is not  khila , inferior.

The devotees, who are aware of His transcendental form, render Him service; therefore the Lord also reciprocates by His causeless mercy and thus delivers His devotees from all distresses.
