Demon as the cause, Kṛṣṇa as the viṣaya, by remembering: O mother, let us stop this topic of Pūtanā. Even now, remembering about her, my body begins to shake. When Pūtanā put Kṛṣṇa on her lap in order to devour him, she manifested a fearful, rough body while making terrible sounds.

Purport

After the Pūtanā witch had been killed, some friends of Mother Yaśodā inquired from her about the incident. Mother Yaśodā at once requested her friends, “Please stop! Please stop! Don’t bring up the incident of Pūtanā. I become distressed just by remembering this incident. The Pūtanā witch came to devour my son, and she deceived me into letting her take the child on her lap. After that, she died and made a tumultuous sound with her gigantic body.”

Commentary

These are the words of Yaśodā to some woman who came from a far off place, and did not know about the Pūtanā incident. Thus there is no fault if she repeats the description of the event. Ghurantī means making a frightful sound. It comes from ghur which means “making terrible and painful sounds.”
