কৃষ্ণপ্রেমা তাঁহা, যাঁহা তাঁহার 'সম্বন্ধ' ।
তাহাঁ বিনা এই প্রেমার কাহাঁ নাহি গন্ধ ॥ ১৭৩ ॥
krsna-prema taṅha, yaṅha taṅhara'sambandha'
tahaṅ vina ei premara kahaṅ nahi gandha
krsna-prema-love of Krsna; taṅha-there; yaṅha-where; taṅhara-his; sambandha-relationship; tahaṅ vina-without him; ei premara-of this ecstatic love; kahaṅ nahi gandha-there is no possibility of even a scent.
"This kind of ecstatic love can be experienced only when one has a relationship with Madhavendra Puri. Without him, even a scent of such transcendental ecstatic love is impossible."
