Not only Krsna's friends but also the cows and calves were overwhelmed with grief as they saw Krsna gripped tightly in the clutches of the serpent. Unable to help, they could only cry in great anxiety. Meanwhile, nature manifested ill omens. The earth trembled, and meteors fell from the sky. When Krsna's mother and father, Yasoda and Nanda, were informed that Krsna had gone to the pasturing grounds without His older brother, Balarama, they were filled with anxiety because they were unaware of Krsna's supreme potency. They ran to the Yamuna, fearful that Krsna might be vanquished by Kaliya. In a short time all the residents of Vrndavana children, young men, old men, women, animals and all living entities had gathered on the bank of the Yamuna. All of the residents of Vrndavana were pure devotees of Krsna who did not know anything but Him. They knew that He was their only means of sustenance. Seeing Krsna caught in the coils of the snake, they felt lost. When mother Yasoda arrived at the bank of the Yamuna, she immediately tried to plunge into the river, but she was stopped by the residents of Vrndavana. Only Krsna's brother, Balarama, who was the master of knowledge, knew what was actually happening. He did not grieve but simply stood there smiling. He knew how powerful His younger brother Krsna was; there was no cause for anxiety over Krsna's fighting with an ordinary serpent of the material world.

Service
Srila Yamunacharya (the spiritual master of Sri Ramanujacharya) describes this: nivasa-sayyasana-padukamsuko- padhana-varsatapa-varanadibhih [Stotra Ratna 37] Although Lord Balaram is the transcendental personal expansion of the Supreme Lord, He has accepted the service of the Supreme Lord in the form of
- nivasa (residence),
- shayya (bed),
- asana (seat),
- paduka (slippers),
- amshuka (garments),
- padhana (pillow) and
- varshatapa (umbrella). Therefore He is appropriately known by people as Sesha.

Gravity
Ananta, or Sesha, is the power which sustains all the planets in their different positions. Materially this sustaining power is known as the law of gravitation, but actually it is a display of the potency of Sankarshana.
Panchasakha
Swarupa of Lord Balarama is described
by Balaram Das, one of the poets of Panchasakha
group in his Dandi Ramayan so magnificently as
follows:-
"Jaya Tu Srihari He Ashesa Janadhari Rohini Nandana Tu Pralamba Hotakari Rebati Kanta Kalandi Jale Tora Khela Nilabastra Paridhan Ayudha To Hala Taladvaja Aharam Sirare Kundali Jara Pade lule Sarba Devanka Mauli Sudha Spatikaku Jini Tora Deha Varna Swarna Kundali Sobhita Tora Beni Karna Mastaket to Sapta Phani Kirita Mukuta Mukuta Kadamba To Shohai Kantha Tata"
Balabhadra you are Vishnu, Rohini Nandan, Pralamba Killer, Rabatikanta, playing inside the water of Kalindi, wearing blue dress your attributs is Hala (plough), riding Taladhvaja chariot having headdresses. All devatas worship you. You are as white asspatika and wearing gold ornaments in the ears with snake hood in head and jewel nakelace on your neck.
