muktam - thus released; baka-ÄsyÄt - from the mouth of BakÄsura; upalabhya - getting back; bÄlakÄḥ - all the boys, the playmates; rÄma-Ädayaḥ - headed by BalarÄma; prÄṇam - life; iva - like; indriyaḥ - senses; gaṇaḥ - all of them; sthÄna-Ägatam - going to their own place; tam - unto Kṛṣṇa; parirabhya - embracing; nirvá¹›tÄḥ - being freed from the danger; praṇīya - after collecting; vatsÄn - all the calves; vrajam etya - returning to VrajabhÅ«mi; tat jaguḥ - loudly declared the incident.
Just as the senses are pacified when consciousness and life return, so when Kṛṣṇa was freed from this danger, all the boys, including BalarÄma, thought that their life had been restored. They embraced Kṛṣṇa in good consciousness, and then they collected their own calves and returned to VrajabhÅ«mi, where they declared the incident loudly.
It was the practice of the inhabitants of Vrajabhūmi to compose poetry about the incidents that occurred in the forest when Kṛṣṇa performed His different activities of killing the asuras. They would compose all the stories in poetry or have this done by professional poets, and then they would sing about these incidents. Thus it is written here that the boys sang very loudly.
