Trees, (Krishna about) [vriksha]: (SB 10:22)

'O Stoka Krishna and Ams'u; o S'ridama, Subala and Arjuna; o Vis'ala, Vrishabha and Ojasvi; o Devaprastha and Varuthapa, just see these ones so fortunate whose life is only there for the higher purpose of keeping off the rain, the wind, the heat and the snow they bear for us.

(33) Oh how superior the birth of these trees that, like great souls do, give support to all living entities; for certain will no person in need ever go away disappointed by them

(34) By their leaves, flowers and fruits; shade and roots, bark and wood; by their fragrance, sap ashes, pulp and shoots they award all things desirable.

(35) It is to each living being to live up to this perfection of birth in this world: to be with ones life, wealth, intelligence and words towards the embodied always of the highest good in ones dutiful activities [see also the vaishnava pranama].'
