ITRANS:

carma-jais tāntavaiḥ pāśairbaddhvā patitam arbhakāḥnāśaknuran samuddhartuṁkṛṣṇāyācakhyur utsukāḥ

Translation:

They caught on to the trapped lizard with leather thongs and then with woven ropes, but still they could not lift it out. So they went to Lord Kṛṣṇa and excitedly told Him about the creature.

Purport:

Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī explains that because in this chapter the Yadu boys, even Śrī Pradyumna, are described as quite young, this must be an early pastime.
