Animals of the jungle sleep in the cool shadow of the trees. The trees cover themselves with branches and foliage all around sheltering groups of birds. The hollows in the trunks of the tree are used as their residence by insects and worms. The big branches are happily occupied by troops of monkeys. The honeybees and beetles are drinking nectar from the flowers with ease and happiness. Thus this tree named Shuladya another mountain carrying the weight of the earth because he is sheltering many creatures in his various limbs and offering them great comfort too.
