Canto 10, Chapter 34, Text 26

तयोर्निरीक्षतो राजंस्तन्नाथं प्रमदाजनम् ।
क्रोशन्तं कालयामास दिश्युदीच्यामशङ्कित: ॥ २६ ॥

tayor nirīkṣato rājaṁs
tan-nāthaṁ pramadā-janam
krośantaṁ kālayām āsa
diśy udīcyām aśaṅkitaḥ

Word by word

tayoḥ — the two of Them; nirīkṣatoḥ — as They looked on; rājan — O King; tat-nātham — having Them as their Lords; pramadā-janam — the assemblage of women; krośantam — crying out; kālayām āsa — he drove; diśi — in the direction; udīcyām — northern; aśaṅkitaḥ — without fear.

Translation

O King, even as the two Lords looked on, Śaṅkhacūḍa brazenly began driving the women off toward the north. The women, who had accepted Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma as their Lords, began to cry out to Them.

Purport

According to Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī, the demon Śaṅkhacūḍa shook a large stick at the beautiful young girls, thus frightening them and driving them toward the north. He did not actually touch them, as is corroborated by the following verse.
