Translation
Terror arising from frightening sounds: When the very wise Yaśodā heard the terrifying howling of wolves echoing in all directions, which gave pain to the ears, she kept Kṛṣṇa within her eyesight continually for some days.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
Upon hearing the jackals crying in the forest of Vṛndāvana, Mother Yaśodā sometimes became very careful about keeping Kṛṣṇa under her vigilance, fearing that Kṛṣṇa might be attacked by them. This is an instance of ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa in fear caused by a tumultuous sound.
