Sanskrit:

चिरं न: पाहि दाशार्ह सानुजो जगदीश्वर: ।इत्यारोप्याङ्कमालिङ्‍ग्य नेत्रै: सिषिचतुर्जलै: ॥ ३ ॥

ITRANS:

ciraṁ naḥ pāhi dāśārhasānujo jagad-īśvaraḥity āropyāṅkam āliṅgyanetraiḥ siṣicatur jalaiḥ

Translation:

[Nanda and Yaśodā prayed,] “O descendant of Daśārha, O Lord of the universe, may You and Your younger brother Kṛṣṇa ever protect us.” Saying this, they raised Śrī Balarāma onto their laps, embraced Him and moistened Him with tears from their eyes.

Purport:

Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī comments on this verse as follows: “Nanda and Yaśodā prayed to Śrī Balarāma, ‘May You, along with Your younger brother, protect us.’ Thus they expressed their respect for the fact that He is the elder brother, and they also showed how much they considered Him their own son.”
