Srimad Bhagavatam 10.15.6-7

Text 6

ete 'linas tava yaso 'khila-loka-tirtham
gayanta adi-purushanupatham bhajante
prayo ami muni-gana bhavadiya-mukhya
gudham vane 'pi na jahaty anaghatma-daivam

TRANSLATION
O original personality, these bees must all be great sages and most elevated devotees of Yours, for they are worshiping You by following You along the path and chanting Your glories, which are themselves a holy place for the entire world. Though You have disguised Yourself within this forest, O sinless one, they refuse to abandon You, their worshipable Lord.

Text 7

nrityanty ami sikhina idya muda harinyah
kurvanti gopya iva te priyam ikshanena
suktais ca kokila-gana griham agataya
dhanya vanaukasa iyan hi satam nisargah

TRANSLATION
O worshipable one, these peacocks are dancing before You out of joy, these doe are pleasing You with affectionate glances, just as the gopis do, and these cuckoos are honoring You with Vedic prayers. All these residents of the forest are most fortunate, and their behavior toward You certainly befits great souls receiving another great soul at home.
