14.223

sadā-bhoge'pi tad-gandha-mātrādhāra-stutir, yathā śrī-daśame (10.21.17)-
pūrṇāḥ pulindya urugāyapadābjarāga-
śrīkuṅkumena dayitāstanamaṇḍitena |
taddarśanasmararujas tṛṇarūṣitena
limpantya ānanakuceṣu juhus tadādhim //

Praise of that which is merely a bearer of his scent even during constant enjoyment, as in the glorious Tenth Canto (10.21.17):
"The Pulinda women are fully satisfied, smearing upon their faces and breasts
the glorious kuṅkuma from the lotus feet of the wide-striding Lord that had adorned the breasts of his beloveds,
which had rubbed off on the grass; seeing it, they were afflicted with love's pain, and they discarded that anguish."
