It was Balarama who taught Duryodhana and Bhima the mace war. Balarama, like Shri Krishna, was a child of Devaki. Balaram was the child of Devaki.Kansa killed all of Devaki's children. As a result of the tenacity of Devaki and Vasudeva, this seventh womb was established within the womb of Vasudev's first spouse. However, Vasudev's first spouse had an issue with how one can raise this child. Because at that time Vasudev was in the prison of Kansa. Therefore, soon after Balarama was born, he was sent to Nand Baba's place.

On the same day, there was also Hull Shashthi. She went back to her work again after Gawlin rested for a while. Due to this, the fast of the people who fasted Hull Shashthi was broken.Due to Gwlin's mistake, his child lying under the strawberry found a solution for the farmer. When the farmer heard the cry of that child, he was very sad and ran away with stitches with strawberry thorns. When Gawlin returned, he found his child dead.
Seeing his child, he remembered his sin. He immediately told the folks the entire thing and also told about the condition of his child. When he apologized in this way, all of the villagers forgave him. When Gwalin came back to the same place, his child was alive and playing.
