TRANSLATION

The lakes, rivers and hills of Vrndavana resounded with the sounds of maddened bees and flocks of birds moving about the flowering trees. In the company of the cowherd boys and Balarama, Madhupati [Sri Krsna] entered that forest, and while herding the cows He began to vibrate His flute.

PURPORT

As suggested by the words cukuja venum, Lord Krsna skillfully blended the sound of His flute with the lovely sounds of Vrndavana's multicolored birds. Thus an irresistible, heavenly vibration was created.
