of Mahārāja Gaya.
When the Supreme Lord is pleased by a person’s actions, automatically all the demigods, human beings, animals, birds, bees, creepers, trees, grass and all other living entities, beginning with Lord Brahmā, are pleased. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the Supersoul of everyone, and He is by nature fully pleased. Nonetheless, He came to the arena of Mahārāja Gaya and said, “I am fully pleased.”

It is explicitly stated herein that simply by satisfying the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one satisfies the demigods and all other living entities without differentiation. If one pours water on the root of a tree, all the branches, twigs, flowers and leaves are nourished. Although the Supreme Lord is self-satisfied, He was so pleased with the behavior of Mahārāja Gaya that He personally came to the sacrificial arena and said, “I am fully satisfied.” Who can compare to Mahārāja Gaya?

Translation
When the Lord is pleased, immediately all devatās, humans, plants, grass, and all beings up to Brahmā become satisfied. The Lord, the life of the universe, the very form of satisfaction, became satisfied at the sacrifice of King Gaya. The Lord, by pleasing whom all beings are pleased, who is the very form of satisfaction, showed his satisfaction “I am satisfied” at the sacrifice along with all beings of the universe.
