English translation of verses 5.24.15-16:

Lord Balarāma gazed at Kola's army, which was like a great river filled with waves of restless horses, timiṅgila fish of chariots, elephants, and horses, whirlpools of ferocious soldiers, and tumultuous roaring like a great ocean of destruction. Then the Lord, in order to make a bridge to cross this river of soldiers, began striking it with His club.
