Important Words
  • paretān — those who had passed away
    From parā + i (to go away). The boys and calves who had technically died inside the demon. Gauḍīyas: Bhagavān can revive what is already dead — He is mṛtyor mṛtyu, the death of death. Bhāgavatam 1.18 lists this as a sign of avatāra-tattva.
  • dṛṣṭyā svayā — by His own glance
    Compound: dṛṣṭi (glance) + sva (own). His glance alone revives them — no mantra, no implement. Gauḍīyas: Kṛṣṇa-darśana is itself life-giving; even a glance carries the full force of Bhagavān.
  • mukundaḥ — the giver of liberation
    muk (mukti) + da (giver). One of the Lord's principal names. Inserted at precisely the moment of giving life back — and also the moment of giving sārūpya-mukti to Aghāsura (verse 38). The name does double work: liberator of the boys, liberator of the demon.
  • viniryayau — He came out
    From vi + nir + yā (to go out completely). Kṛṣṇa walks out of the demon's mouth as casually as He walked in. Gauḍīyas: every entry of the Lord into apparent peril ends in viniryāṇa — going out unchanged, with all His own intact.
When all the demon’s life air had passed away through that hole in the top of his head, Kṛṣṇa glanced over the dead calves and cowherd boys and brought them back to life. Then Mukunda, who can give one liberation, came out from the demon’s mouth with His friends and the calves.

Translation
When all the demon's life air had passed away through that hole in the top of his head, Kṛṣṇa glanced over the dead calves and cowherd boys and brought them back to life. Then Mukunda, who can give one liberation, came out from the demon's mouth with His friends and the calves.
Commentary

The cowherd boys and calves who fainted due to separation from Krsna and from the heat of the serpent’s stomach, were brought back to consciousness by Krsna’s glance, which was a shower of nectar.

Jīva Gosvāmī Gauḍīya
Commentary

When all his senses passed out along with the prāṇa (tena), or when all his life airs passed out through the brahma-randhra (tena), seeing the boys who momentarily looked as if dead because of following after the Lord’s human-like pastimes, he revived them to action by his sweet, affectionate glance. Mukunda, he who liberated Agha from saṁsāra and frees the boys from Agha, since he is the Supreme Lord who appeared on his own to benefit the universe (bhagavān), with the boys behind him (tad-anvitaḥ), came out of the snake’s mouth in bliss (vi=vinoda).

Analogy

Picture a master who steps out of a collapsed building with every child accounted for — and a few who had stopped breathing now revived by His glance. Mukunda walks out of Aghāsura's mouth as easily as out of a doorway, and behind Him come the friends He went in to save. The verse names Him Mukunda precisely here, where He gives mukti.
