Text 6 Upon hearing the sound of Kåñëa’s flute, moving living entities acquire the nature of the non-moving, and non-moving entities acquire the nature of the moving. Çrémad-Bhägavatam (10.21.19) states: gä gopakair anu-vanaà nayator udäraveëu-svanaiù kala-padais tanu-bhåtsu sakhyaù aspandanaà gati-matäà pulakas tarüëäà niryoga-päça-kåta-lakñaëayor vicitram O sakhés, the elegance and charm of the two brothers, our Çyämasundara and Gaurasundara Balaräma, are quite unique and wonderful.

Upon seeing that sweet, unparalleled beauty and hearing the sound of the veëu, moving living entities, such as animals and birds, as well as rivers – and what to speak of human beings – become inert like stone. And ecstatic symptoms like horripilation are displayed in non-moving entities, such as trees.
