Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, once Balarama who is the preceptor of Kurus, conducted a visit to Vraja, the people of Vrindavan received him with great enthusiasm, and they happily surrounded Balarama and enquired about Krishna.   The cowherds were extremely happy to see Jagadheeshwara, they embraced him and shed tears of joy.   The elderly people enquired about the welfare of the families, greeted him with happiness, his childhood friends accompanied him with good-humored talks.   Thus, Balarama spend pleasing days with the people and cowherds of Vraja, he and the women of cowherds went to the riverbank of Yamuna, they had a lot to share with Sankarshana, they shed tears thinking of Krishna and those beautiful days of passionate sports with him.  Thus   Balarama spends two months in the Vraja and took great pleasure in the various sports with the women of the cowherd.  It was one full moon night, cool braze was carrying the rich fragrance of Kumudha,  Balarama with the women of cowherds assembled on the river banks of Yamuna, he was taking immense pleasure in the various sports with the women of cowherds, instructed river Yamuna come closer to him so that he can take pleasure in water sports, but she did not listen to him.  Balarama got annoyed at her behavior; he dragged her watercourse with his plow.  The Yamuna got terrified, she surrendered at his feet and eulogized him.” Thus Balarama with the women of cowherds performed various passionate sports and once again made them happy.”
