yathā –
agre sānugrahaṁ paśyann agrajaṁ vyagra-mānasaḥ |
gadaḥ padāravinde ’sya vidadhe daṇḍavan-natim ||157||
Translation
Seeing Kṛṣṇa with His affectionate glance in front of him, Gada, with confused mind, offered his respects at Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
Even Balarāma, the elder brother of Kṛṣṇa, sometimes unknowingly offered respect to Him. Once when Kṛṣṇa came before Lord Balarāma, Kṛṣṇa was anxious to offer His respects to His elder brother, but at that time Balarāma’s club was lowered down upon Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet. In other words, the club in Balarāma’s hand offered its own respects to Kṛṣṇa.
