Sodium and Sulphur occur at minimum places , but Sulphur is already balanced. It is easy to balance Na multiply NaoH by 2.

Now sodium is balanced, but we have 4 atoms of hydrogen on reactant side and 2 atoms of hydrogen on product side.

To balance hydrogen atoms , multiply H2o on the product side by 2.

Now the equation is balanced in 'O' and 'S' atoms. Thus the balanced equation.
