O Supreme Soul ! O Lord ! When you are engaged in giving your holy speech (sermon), due to your nearness, not only the human beings who are endowed with sentience but also the Asoka tree which possessess non-distinct sentience, also becomes happy (i.e. Asoka or free from sorrow), for, does not the world of beings become awakened along with vegelation consisting of lilies, etc., when the Sun arises in the Sky ? The point is that when the Sun rises, not only the world of beings with distinct sensibility but the vegetable world with indistinct sensibility also wakes up; similarly, due to the lord's nearness, not only human beings but also trees like Asoka experience happiness. ||19|||
