Kṛṣṇa’s friendship with the boys: O brother! O respected one! On seeing all My friends quickly enter the stomach of the Agha demon, hot tears began flowing from My eyes, and My cheeks became thin. Being despondent, for some time My mind became vacant.
Purport
There is a description of Kṛṣṇa’s feeling for His vayasyas in Vṛndāvana. He once said to Balarāma, “My dear brother, when My companions were being devoured by the Aghāsura, hot tears poured down from My eyes. And as they were washing My cheeks, My dear elder brother, for at least one moment I completely lost Myself.”
— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
