muñjāṭavyagniśamanaḥ prāvṛṭkālavinodavān ·śilānyastānnabhṛddaityasaṃhartā śādvalāsanaḥ
who quelled the fire of the Muñja thicket
Pacifier of the fire in the Muñja forest — when a second great forest fire breaks out and traps the cowherds, Kṛṣṇa swallows it; he tells them to close their eyes and they open them to safety.
who passed the rainy season in delight
Who plays in the rainy season — S.B.G 10.20 describes the rainy season at Vṛndāvana through Kṛṣṇa's enjoyment of every phenomenon — clouds, frogs, peacocks, new grass.
who took up the food laid out on the rocks
Eating food laid on flat stones — for the forest lunches, the boys use flat stones as plates; Kṛṣṇa's enjoyment of food laid on stone is itself an aesthetic ideal.
destroyer of the demons
Destroyer of demons — generic but referring to the long series in Vṛndāvana: Pūtanā, Śakaṭa, Tṛṇāvarta, Vatsa, Baka, Agha, Dhenuka, Pralamba, Vṛṣabha, Keśin and others.
who sat upon the grassy sward
Seated on grass — when the gopīs see Kṛṣṇa in the Veṇu-gīta episode, he is sitting on the grass playing his flute; this 'grass-seat' becomes a key visual.
