दुर्गन्धकामां सुजुगुप्सनीयां वर्जेति नित्यं स्थितो शीलस्कन्धे ।
सदा चरन्तो इह ब्रह्मचर्यं गन्धानुलेपं ददियान स्तूपे ॥ ५८० ॥

durgandhakāmāṃ sujugupsanīyāṃ varjeti nityaṃ sthito śīlaskandhe |
sadā caranto iha brahmacaryaṃ gandhānulepaṃ dadiyāna stūpe || 580 ||

He eschews all the foul and disgusting pleasures of sense, being permanently established in the body of morality. He who has anointed a tope with perfume, ever here lives the holy life. (580)
