Hare Krsna dear devotees

" When the members of the cowherd community, who had accepted Krsna as their dearmost friend, saw Him enveloped in the snake's coils, motionless, they were greatly disturbed. They had offered Krsna everything- their very selves, their families, their wealth, wives and all pleasures. At the sight of the Lord in the clutches of the Kaliya snake, their intelligence became deranged by grief, lamentation and fear, and thus they fell to the ground. "

Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that the cowherd boys, along with some cowherd men and farmers who happened to be in the vicinity and who were also devotees of Krsna, fell to the ground just like trees that had been cut at the root.

            " Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura has further commented that Kaliya also desired to become Lord Krsna's carrier. Garuda and the serpents are originally related as brothers, and therefore Kaliya wanted to indicate to Lord Krsna, " If You ever have to go to a distant place, You should also think of me as Your personal carrier. I am the servant of Your servant, and in the wink of an eye I can travel hundreds of millions of yojanas." 

            Thus the Puranas narrate that in the course of Lord Krsna's eternal cycle of pastimes, when Kamsa orders the Lord to come to Mathura, He sometimes goes there mounted upon Kaliya. "

              Yes. Krishna Balaram's Hayabusa 

              Kaliya naag was given such a mercy by lord that was not even given to any other devotee, the chance to receive the touch of lords feet that many times.

              And it is all because of wife of kaliya naag that he received such a boon
