But the Muni, becoming again extremely passionate caught hold of Matsyagandhâ; when the young woman spoke to Parâs’ara, in front of her, shuddering:-- “O best of Munis! My body is emitting very bad smell; do you not feel this? You know very well that the sexual intercourse between male and female of similar types brings in happiness and comfort.” Thus spoken to, Parâs’ara made Matsyagandhâ emit sweet scent like that of musk to a distance of one Yojana (8 miles) and her body exceedingly lovely and beautiful and, becoming extremely passionate, again caught hold of her right hand. > — Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam - [Previous: 2.2.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata.2.2.14) - [Next: 2.2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata.2.2.16) - [Up: 2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata.2.2) ## Translations (1) - [The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata~en-vijnanananda.2.2.15) — Swami Vijnanananda 1921, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata.2.2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata.2.2.15) · Pramāṇa
