GSB:

2:46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and {b} worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
(b) Though this humbling of the king seemed to deserve commendation, yet because he united God's honour with the Prophets, it is to be reproved, and Daniel would have erred, if he allowed it: but it is to his credit that Daniel admonished him of his fault, and did not allow it.

WES:

2:46 That they should offer - This was strange, that so great a monarch should thus worship his vassal, which he did in consternation and admiration.

And the king being instructed of Daniel, gives God all the glory in the next words.
