tan-all those boys; viksya-seeing; krsnah-the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna; sakala-abhaya-pradah-who is the source of fearlessness for everyone; hi-indeed; ananya-nathan-especially for the cowherd boys, who did not know anyone except Krsna; sva-karat-from the control of His hand; avacyutan-now gone out; dinan ca-helpless; mrtyoh jathara-agni-ghasan-who had all entered like straws into the fire of the abdomen of Aghasura, who was very bold and hungry, like death personified (because the asura had assumed a big body, he must have had a very strong appetite); ghrna-arditah-therefore, being compassionate due to causeless mercy; dista-krtena-by things arranged by His internal potency; vismitah-He also, for the time being, was astonished.
