Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 16 Text 23

ittham sva-gokulam ananya-gatiṁ nirīkṣya
sa-strī-kumāram ati-duḥkhitam ātma-hetoḥ
ājñāya martya-padavīm anuvartamānaḥ
sthitvā muhūrtam udatiṣṭhad uraṅga-bandhāt

TRANSLATION
The Lord remained for some time within the coils of the serpent, imitating the behavior of an ordinary mortal. But when He understood that the women, children and other residents of His village of Gokula were in acute distress because of their love for Him, their only shelter and goal in life, He immediately rose up from the bonds of the Kāliya serpent.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 15 Texts 49-50

viṣāmbhas tad upaspṛśya
daivopahata-cetasaḥ
nipetur vyasavaḥ sarve
salilānte kurūdvaha

vīkṣya tān vai tathā-bhūtān
kṛṣṇo yogeśvareśvaraḥ
īkṣayāmṛta-varṣiṇyā
sva-nāthān samajīvayat

TRANSLATION

As soon as they touched the poisoned water, all the cows and boys lost their consciousness by the divine power of the Lord and fell lifeless at the water’s edge. O hero of the Kurus, seeing them in such a condition, Lord Kṛṣṇa, the master of all masters of mystic potency, felt compassion for these devotees, who had no Lord other than Him. Thus He immediately brought them back to life by showering His nectarean glance upon them.
