SB 10.45.39
tam aha bhagavan asu
 guru-putrah pradiyatam
yo ’sav iha tvaya grasto
 balako mahatormina


Translation:
The Supreme Lord Krsna addressed the lord of the ocean: Let the son of My guru be presented at once — the one you seized here with your mighty waves.

SB 10.45.40
sri-samudra uvaca
na caharsam aham deva
 daityah pañcajano mahan
antar-jala-carah krsna
 sankha-rupa-dharo ’surah

Translation:
The ocean replied: O Lord Krsna, it was not I who abducted him, but a demonic descendant of Diti named Pañcajana, who travels in the water in the form of a conch.

Purport:
Clearly the demon Pañcajana was too powerful for the ocean to control; otherwise the ocean would have prevented such an unlawful act.
