Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

[The cowherd boys said:] O Kṛṣṇa ! Kṛṣṇa! Most powerful one ! O Rāma! You whose prowess never fails! Please save Your devotees, who are about to be burned by this forest fire and have come to take shelter of You! KB 10.19.9 They said, “Dear Kṛṣṇa! Dear Kṛṣṇa! You and Balarāma are very powerful. We are now burning from the heat of this blazing fire. Let us take shelter of Your lotus feet. We know You can protect us from this great danger.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

They called out to Kṛṣṇa as a person with great power, just as Pralamba had considered him powerful: aviṣahyaṁ manyamānaḥ kṛṣṇaṁ dānava-puṅgavaḥ vahan drutataraṁ prāgād avarohaṇataḥ param Considering Kṛṣṇa invincible, that foremost demon quickly carried Balarāma far beyond the spot where he was supposed to put his passenger down. SB 10.18.25 They call to Balarāma whose power is unfailing, because he had killed powerful Pralamba with one blow of his fist. Another version has amita-vikrama, with the same intention in mind. You two can save us who have surrendered to you. They say this out of great fear.
