Balabhadra Bhanacarya was very much afraid to see them,but by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's influence, all the animals stood to oneside. The elephants whose bodies were touched by the water splashedby the Lord began to chant, 'Krr:ta! Krr:ta!' and dance and sing in ecstasy.Some of the elephants fell to the ground, and some screamed in ecstasy.Seeing this, Balabhadra Bhanacarya was completely astonished. SometimesSri Caitanya Mahaprabhu chanted very loudly w,hile passingthrough the jungle. Hearing His sweet voice, all the does came near Him.While Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was passing through the jungle, five orseven tigers came. joining the deer, the tigers began to follow the Lord.When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, 'Chant Krr:ta! Krr:ta!' the tigers anddeer began to chant, 'Krr:ta!' When all the tigers and does danced andjumped, Balabhadra Bhanacarya saw them and was struck with wonder.Indeed, the tigers and deer began to embrace one another, and, touchingmouths, they began to kiss.
