yat - then again; na mriyeta - did not die; drumayoḥ antaram - between the two trees; prāpya - although He was between; bālakaḥ asau - that child, Kṛṣṇa; anyatamaḥ - another child; vā api - or; tat api acyuta-rakṣaṇam - in that case also, He was saved by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Even the other day, neither Kṛṣṇa nor any of His playmates died from the falling of the two trees, although the children were near the trees or even between them. This also is to be considered the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
