CC Antya 17.46
Bengali
যেবা বেণু-কলধ্বনি, একবার তাহা শুনি’, জগন্নারী-চিত্ত আউলায় ।
নীবি-বন্ধ পড়ে খসি’, বিনা-মূলে হয় দাসী, বাউলী হঞা কৃষ্ণ-পাশে ধায় ॥ ৪৬ ॥
নীবি-বন্ধ পড়ে খসি’, বিনা-মূলে হয় দাসী, বাউলী হঞা কৃষ্ণ-পাশে ধায় ॥ ৪৬ ॥

Translation
“The transcendental vibration of Kṛṣṇa’s flute disturbs the hearts of women all over the world, even if they hear it only once. Thus their fastened belts become loose, and these women become the unpaid maidservants of Kṛṣṇa. Indeed, they run toward Kṛṣṇa exactly like madwomen.
