The gopÄŤs then began to address the tulasÄŤ plants: “Dear tulasÄŤ, you are much beloved by Lord KášášŁáša because your leaves are always at His lotus feet. Dear mÄlatÄŤ flower, dear mallikÄ flower, dear jasmine flower, all of you must have been touched by KášášŁáša while He was passing this way after giving us transcendental enjoyment. Have you seen MÄdhava passing this way? O mango trees, O trees of jack fruit, O pear trees and Äsana trees! O blackberries and bael trees and trees of kadamba flower–you are all very pious trees to be living on the bank of YamunÄ. KášášŁáša must have passed through this way. Will you kindly let us know which way He has gone?”
(KášášŁáša Book 30)
When the hairs of His body stood on end, His body looked like a golden jackfruit. Again and again He would laugh loudly with great jubilation.
(CB Madhya 2.164)
