Śrī Parīkṣit Mahārāja said: Hearing the words of the old lady, Śrīmad Gopāla-deva became extremely worried and perturbed with apprehension. As a result, he became excessively pained, causing His happy lotus face to wither. He then began looking at the tearfilled face of Śrī Balarāma who knew all events of past and present in Vraja.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

After hearing all the words of this old lady, Śrīmad Gopāla-deva became very much afraid and began to look at the face of Śrī Baladeva because Śrī Baladevajī knew all past and present events of Vraja. In other words, He knew the happenings in Vraja that took place even before Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s coming to Mathurā and after returning to Mathurā. In this way, intense distress arose in the heart of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and His lotus face withered, becoming perturbed from the apprehension of receiving bad news about His beloved people of Vraja. Then He began to glance at the lotus face of Śrī Baladeva, who had tears in His eyes.
