  of the elder brother of Kṛiṣṇa.  [He was the seventh son of Vasudava and Devakī
 but transferred to the womb of Rohiṇī to save him from falling a prey to the cruelty of Kaṁsa.  He and his brother Kṛiṣṇa were brought up by Nanda in Gokula.  When quite young,  he killed the powerful demons Dhenuka and Pralamba,  and performed,  like his brother,  many feats of surprising strength. On one occasion Balarāma under the influence of wine,  of which he was very fond,  called upon the Yamunā river to come to him that he might bathe
 and on his command being unheeded,  he plunged his plough-share into the river and dragged the waters after him,  until the river assumed a human form and asked his forgivenss. On another occasion he dragged towards himself the whole city of Hastināpura along with its walls. As Kṛiṣṇa was a friend and admirer of the Pāṇḍavas,  so Balarāma was of the Kauravas,  as was seen in his desire of giving his sister Subhadrā to Duryodhana rather than to Arjuna
 yet he declined to take any part in the great Bhāratī war either with the Pāṇḍavas or the Kauravas. He is represented as dressed in blue clothes,  and armed with a ploughshare which was his most effective weapon.  His wife was Revatī. He is sometimes regarded as an incarnation of the serpent Śeṣa and sometimes as the eighth incarnation of Viṣṇu
