মৃগমদ নীলোৎপল,     মিলনে যে পরিমল,
যেই হরে তার গর্ব-মান ।
হেন কৃষ্ণ-অঙ্গ-গন্ধ,     যার নাহি সে সম্বন্ধ,
সেই নাসা ভস্ত্রার সমান ॥ ৩৩ ॥

yei hare tāra garva-māna
hena kṛṣṇa-aṅga-gandha,
yāra nāhi se sambandha,
sei nāsā bhastrāra samāna

Translation

“One’s nostrils are no better than the bellows of a blacksmith if one has not smelled the fragrance of Kṛṣṇa’s body, which is like the aroma of musk combined with that of the bluish lotus flower. Indeed, such combinations are actually defeated by the aroma of Kṛṣṇa’s body.
