cakora-kraunca-cakrahva-bharadvajan ca -- the cakora, kraunca, cakrahva and bharadvaja birds; barhinah -- the peacocks; anurauti sma -- He would call out in imitation of; sattvanam -- together with the other creatures; bhita-vat -- acting as if afraid; vyaghra-simhayoh -- of the tigers and lions.
Sometimes He would cry out in imitation of birds such as the cakoras, krauncas, cakrahvas, bharadvajas and peacocks, and sometimes He would run away with the smaller animals in mock fear of lions and tigers.
The word bhita-vat, "as if afraid," indicates that Lord Krishna played just like an ordinary boy and ran with the smaller forest creatures in mock fear of the lions and tigers. Actually, in Vrindavana, the abode of the Lord, the lions and tigers are not violent, and thus there is no reason to fear them.
