There is a pleasant grove of sandalwood trees on Govardhana Hill.
Although snakes generally flock to sandalwood trees, no snakes ever
come here, or if sometimes a snake may come it is not poisonous, or
if sometimes a poisonous snake may come its poison is automatically
counteracted, and it can do no harm. As the best servant of Lord
Hari, Govardhana Hill has made this wonderful arrangement for
the Lord's pleasure.
