। ॥ २२८ ॥
In plain words
The great cart had come at him as an enemy, and he drew it right up beside himself. The demon he killed with nothing but his arms locked around its neck. This was Kṛṣṇa, still a child.
Close to the Sanskrit
He brought the very large cart, which had committed an offense even so, near to his own self; or rather, by a special embrace of the neck Kṛṣṇa, in childhood, slew the demon.
