Āvega arising from fire: O Kṛṣṇa with peacock feather! See the fire making a constantly ferocious sound. It is touching the Mandākinī River of Svarga with its long flames, as if sipping its waters. You are the jewel which protects the life of Your friends. Seeing You standing in the midst of the deep forest in order to protect the cows, our hearts have become bewildered.

When there was a forest fire in Vṛndāvana, all the cowherd men assembled together and desperately appealed to Kṛṣṇa for protection. This is an instance of emotion caused by fire.

Commentary
