Rādhe! Kṛṣṇa Kathā Śuni Dādā Balarāma
Pūrvāhna-līlā, Part 3 — Late Morning Pastimes
Rādhe! (Please hear as I say more). Hearing narrations about Kṛṣṇa, His elder brother Balarāma says with great ecstasy, “O brother Kṛṣṇa, if I do not see You, my strength cannot remain!…
“…Who knows – when You are not looking, a demon may steal the cows. Your friends will suffer greatly, and will go on remembering Hari…
“…If You roam about in the forest with no one accompanying You, I will get worried. The enemy section is powerful and will give You trouble. I, the slayer of enemies, will go with You.”
Kṛṣṇa replies, “O dādā (elder brother), by Your courage and valour, I do not fear anybody. Even if Kaṁsa himself comes, I will destroy him. You stay here and protect the cows.”
