Translation: 

 

My dear King, clouds hovered about sharp-horned Aristasura’s hump, mistaking it for a mountain, and when the cowherd men and ladies caught sight of the demon, they were struck with terror. Indeed, the strident reverberation of his roar so frightened the pregnant cows and women that they lost their fetuses in miscarriages.

 

Purport: 

 

The Vedic literature categorizes miscarriages as follows: A-caturthad bhavet sravah patah pañcama-sasthayoh/ ata urdhvam prasutih syat. “Up to the fourth month a premature delivery is called srava, in the fifth and sixth months it is called pata, and after this it is considered a birth (prasuti).”
