TRANSLATION

"When sandalwood pulp with aguru, kuṅkuma and musk is mixed with camphor and spread on Krsna's body, it combines with Krsna's own original bodily perfume and seems to cover it.

PURPORT

In another version, the last line of this verse reads, kamadevera mana kaila curi. This means "the scent of all these substances mixes with the previous scent of Krsna's body and steals away the mind of Cupid."
