dṛṣṭvā yaśodā-pramukhā vraja-striya
autthānike karmaṇi yāḥ samāgatāḥ
nandādayaś cādbhuta-darśanākulāḥ
kathaṁ svayaṁ vai śakaṭaṁ viparyagāt
dṛṣṭvā — after seeing; yaśodā-pramukhāḥ — headed by mother Yaśodā; vraja-striyaḥ — all the ladies of Vraja; autthānike karmaṇi — in the celebration of the utthāna ceremony; yāḥ — those who; samāgatāḥ — assembled there; nanda-ādayaḥ ca — and the men, headed by Nanda Mahārāja; adbhuta-darśana — by seeing the wonderful calamity (that the heavily loaded cart had broken upon the small baby, who still lay there unhurt); ākulāḥ — and thus they were very much perturbed as to how it had happened; katham — how; svayam — by itself; vai — indeed; śakaṭam — the handcart; viparyagāt — became so heavily damaged, dismantled.
When mother Yaśodā and the other ladies who had assembled for the utthāna festival, and all the men, headed by Nanda Mahārāja, saw the wonderful situation, they began to wonder how the handcart had collapsed by itself. They began to wander here and there, trying to find the cause, but were unable to do so.
