tebhyo visuddham vijñanam
bhagavan vyatarad vibhuh
yenaivatmany ado visvam
atmanam visva-gam viduh

The all-powerful Lord Balarama bestowed upon the sages pure spiritual knowledge, by which they could see the whole universe within Him and also see Him pervading everything.
SB 10.79.32
sva-patyavabhrtha-snato
jñati-bandhu-suhrd-vrtah
reje sva-jyotsnayevenduh
su-vasah susthv alankrtah
Translation:
After executing with His wife the avabhrtha ablutions, the beautifully dressed and ornamented Lord Balarama, encircled by His immediate family and other relatives and friends, looked as splendid as the moon surrounded by its effulgent rays.
Purport:
Srila Prabhupada beautifully describes this scene as follows: “Lord Balarama then took the avabhrtha bath, which is taken after finishing sacrificial performances. After taking His bath, He dressed Himself in new silken garments and decorated Himself with beautiful jewelry. Amidst His relatives and friends, He appeared to be a shining full moon amidst the luminaries in the sky.”
