TRANSLATION

When Balarama and the other boys saw that Krsna had been de-
voured by the gigantic duck, they became almost unconscious, like
senses without life.

PURPORT

Although Balarama can do everything, because of intense affection for
His brother He was momentarily bewildered. A similar thing is stated to
have happened in connection with rukmini-harana, the kidnapping of
Rukmini. When Krsna, after kidnapping Rukmini, was attacked by all
the kings, Rukmini was momentarily bewildered, until the Lord took the
proper steps.
