TRANSLATION

When the Lord loudly chanted ‘Hari bol!’”’ the trees and creepers became

jubilant to hear Him.
PURPORT

The loud chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra is so powerful that it can even
penetrate the ears of trees and creepers—what to speak of animals and human
beings. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu once asked Haridasa Thakura how trees and
plants could be delivered, and Haridasa Thakura replied that the loud chanting of
the Hare Krsna mahd-mantra would benefit not only trees and plants but insects
and all other living beings. One should therefore not be disturbed by the loud
chanting of Hare Krsna, for it is beneficial not only to the chanter but to everyone
who gets an opportunity to hear.
