    Kṛṣṇa then looked at His brother’s face and smiled as if embarrassed. And since Kṛṣṇa’s body was covered with dust, Balarāma wiped Him clean and bathed Him in the sea.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 7 Texts 15-16


    nāradas tu kṛtāgaskam
    ivātmānam amanyata
    devānāṁ yādavānāṁ ca
    saṅge ’gān na kutūhalāt

    viyaty antarhito bhūtvā

    baddhvaikaṁ yoga-paṭṭakam
    niviṣṭo bhagavac-ceṣṭā-
    mādhuryānubhavāya saḥ

    TRANSLATION

    Nārada, however, thinking he had committed an offense, did not accompany the demigods and the Yādavas. Instead with great curiosity he hid himself in the midst of the sky, fixing himself in a yoga sitting posture, to observe the sweetness of the Lord’s acts.

    TRANSLATION

    Brahmā found his own father and spiritual master, the original Nārāyaṇa, in an unprecedented state, distressed by love for His beloved devotees. Seeing the Lord thus boldly revealing His true greatness, normally hidden, Brahmā was astonished. For a moment he too lost his gravity and began to cry.
