daityena yas tṛṇāvartam
ahan kaṇṭha-grahāturam
eka-hayanah -- one year old; asinah -- sitting; hriyamanah -- being taken away; vihayasa -- in the sky; daityena -- by the demon; yah -- who; trinavartam -- named Trinavarta; ahan -- killed; kantha -- his neck; graha -- by being seized; aturam -- tormented.
At the age of one, while sitting peacefully He was taken up into the sky by the demon Trinavarta. But baby Krishna grabbed the demon's neck, causing him great pain, and thus killed him.
The cowherd men, who loved Krishna as an ordinary child, were astonished by all these activities. A newborn infant cannot ordinarily kill a powerful witch, and one would hardly think that a one-year-old baby could kill a demon who has kidnapped him and carried him up into the sky. But Krishna did all of these wonderful things, and the cowherd men were enhancing their love for Him by remembering and discussing His activities.
