English	EN KB 2018 one-vol: One day, the cowherd boys were dueling, and the defeated boys carried the victors on their backs. The demon Pralamba had disguised himself as a friend, hoping to kidnap Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma for his master, Kaṁsa. Pralamba carried Balarāma, who is compared to a mountain. First Balarāma increased His weight in order to thwart the demon, forcing Pralamba to give up his disguise. Balarāma then struck the demon with His strong fist, and the demon fell, thundering down like a great hill struck by Indra’s thunderbolt.
