TRANSLATION

Srila Suta Goswami said, "let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the great sage, who can enter everyone's heart and who was addressed 'as my son' by his father Vyasdeva while he was going away for renounced order of life without being reformed by sacred thread or undergoing the ceremonies observed by the higher castes. The trees absorbed in that way responded to the fearful father feeling the separation of the son."
