Translation
Another example: The sun in the form of Kṛṣṇa drank up the deep darkness of life of the midnight in the form of Pūtanā. Her eyes lit up for a moment beyond her control and then died out, like the glowing of fireflies in the night. That midnight suddenly disappeared with the loud hooting of owls in the form of her death groans.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Ghutkāra means making a hooting sound.
