Another example of intoxication, from a traditional work:
“ ‘O Kṛṣṇa! Tell me immediately! Is the earth swerving? Is the moon wobbling? O Yadus, why are you laughing? Give Me some wine in a glass!’ Balarāma stuttered, speaking in this way while sitting in His house. May that Balarāma give you blessings!”
