Suddenly a great forest fire appeared
on all sides, threatening to destroy all the forest creatures. Like a
chariot driver, the wind swept the fire onward, and terrible sparks shot
in all directions. Indeed, the great fire extended its tongues of flame
toward all moving and nonmoving creatures.
Purport:
Just
as Krsna, Balarama and the cowherd boys were about to take their cows
back home, the forest fire previously mentioned raged out of control and
surrounded all of them.
