Jackfruit Tree

Location – Yoga Pitha

The gopÄŤs then began to address the tulasÄŤ plants: “Dear tulasÄŤ, you are much beloved by Lord Kṛṣṇa because your leaves are always at His lotus feet. Dear mālatÄŤ flower, dear mallikā flower, dear jasmine flower, all of you must have been touched by Kṛṣṇa while He was passing this way after giving us transcendental enjoyment. Have you seen Mādhava passing this way? O mango trees, O trees of jack fruit, O pear trees and āsana trees! O blackberries and bael trees and trees of kadamba flower–you are all very pious trees to be living on the bank of Yamunā. Kṛṣṇa must have passed through this way. Will you kindly let us know which way He has gone?”
(Kṛṣṇa 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)
