SB 10.67.12
tasya dharstyam kaper viksya
tarunyo jati-capalah
hasya-priya vijahasur
baladeva-parigrahah
Translation:
When Lord Baladeva’s consorts saw the ape’s impudence, they began to laugh. They were, after all, young girls who were fond of joking and prone to silliness.
SB 10.67.13
ta helayam asa kapir
bhru-ksepair sammukhadibhih
darsayan sva-gudam tasam
ramasya ca niriksitah
Translation:
Even as Lord Balarama looked on, Dvivida insulted the girls by making odd gestures with his eyebrows, coming right in front of them, and showing them his anus.
Purport:
Srila Prabhupada writes: “The gorilla was so rude that even in the presence of Balarama he began to show the lower part of his body to the women, and sometimes he would come forward to show his teeth while moving his eyebrows.” Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti states that Dvivida would come right up to the women and move about, urinate and so on.
