Terror from ferocious beasts: When Vṛṣāsura, taking the form of a bull, approached, some of the gopīs began to tremble. Suddenly embracing a tamāla tree, mistaking it for Kṛṣṇa, they could not move.
Purport
When Vṛṣāsura appeared in Vṛndāvana as a bull, all of the gopīs became greatly affected with fear. Being perturbed in that way, they began to embrace the tamāla trees. This is an instance of fear caused by a ferocious animal and of the search for shelter while remembering Kṛṣṇa in ecstatic love.
