Just see how these trees, full with fruits, have bent down to worship Your lotus feet.
Krsna then spoke to His elder brother Balarama as follows: "My dear brother, You are superior to all of us, and Your lotus feet are worshiped by the demigods. He was very pleased by the behavior of the trees, fruits and flowers, and He began to smile, realizing their desires. Krsna saw all the trees, overloaded with fruits and fresh twigs, coming down to touch the ground as if welcoming Him by touching His lotus feet. Krsna, with His friends and Balarama, entered the forest and, seeing the favorable situation, enjoyed the atmosphere to the fullest extent. Sweet flavored breezes blew always, refreshing the mind and body.
There were chirping birds and clear water lakes with waters that could relieve one of all fatigue. The Vrndavana forest was as sanctified as the clear mind of a devotee and was full of bees, flowers and fruits. "Accompanied by the cowherd boys and Balarama, Krsna brought forward the cows and played on His flute through the forest of Vrndavana, which was full of flowers, vegetables, and pasturing grass. All this combines with the sweet vibration created by the swans and the calm of the water. On such an occasion the wind also takes advantage of the situation by throwing pollen or saffron contained in the lotus flowers. When bumblebees come upon trees and creepers to collect honey, certainly such plants become very happy. Purport: "Trees and creepers are also different types of living beings. These all created such an atmosphere that it appeared as though a festival were taking place there. The trees appeared to be very jolly due to the sweet humming of the bumblebees, and the saffron, which was contained in the lotus flowers, was being thrown into the air. "There were various trees and creepers on all sides of the lake, and there were mad bumblebees humming all about them.
