ऋषीणां गन्धो चिरभावितानां उपवायति एरितो मारुतेन ।
शुचिः सुगन्धो चिरभावितानां न एष गन्धो प्रतिकूल मह्यं ॥ १७ ॥
ṛṣīṇāṃ gandho cirabhāvitānāṃ upavāyati erito mārutena |
śuciḥ sugandho cirabhāvitānāṃ na eṣa gandho pratikūla mahyaṃ || 17 ||
Yea, the odour of seers who are far advanced is wafted abroad, blown about by the wind, but it is sweet and pleasant, and is not disagreeable to me. (17)
