Insanity arising from calamity:
“What a calamity! When Kṛṣṇa entered the lake of Kāliya, Yaśodā became insane, and thinking the animals were knowers of mantras, folded her hands and began offering them respects. Thinking the trees were doctors, she asked them for medicine to counteract the poison.”
