prekṣaṇākṣam abhāṣata

— mother Yaśodā; gṛhītvā — taking; kare — within the hands (being anxious about what Kṛṣṇa might have eaten); kṛṣṇam — Kṛṣṇa; upālabhya — wanted to chastise Him; hita-eṣiṇī — because she was anxious for the welfare of Kṛṣṇa, she became very much agitated, thinking, “How is it that Kṛṣṇa has eaten earth?”; yaśodā — mother Yaśodā; bhaya-sambhrānta-prekṣaṇa-akṣam — began to look very carefully within Kṛṣṇa’s mouth in fear, to see if Kṛṣṇa had eaten something dangerous; abhāṣata — began to address Kṛṣṇa.
