at whose melody even dry stumps sprout
Whose music causes even sthāṇus (lifeless objects/posts) to sprout leaves — the flute-music is so powerful that dead wood begins to bloom; one of the Veṇu-gīta's central declarations.
at whose song the trees bow down
Before whose song even trees bow — trees in the forest are described as bending toward the source of the music; the cosmos itself bows to his flute.
who made the deer forget their grazing
Whose music makes deer forget the grass in their mouths — when the flute sounds, even grazing deer stop mid-mouthful and stand transfixed.
who allured the deer
Allured by deer (or to whom deer are drawn) — the deer of Vṛndāvana approach Kṛṣṇa fearlessly when he plays the flute; the gopīs envy them.
