पुष्पगन्धानुपादाय घ्राणहस्तेन देहकम् ।

ya ālokayati prītyā kasyāsau na kare sthitaḥ || 19 ||

How can one slight to look and lay hold on his inner soul which shoots through every sense of his body; when he takes up a sweet scenting flower, perceptible by the sense of smelling only, and finally decorating his outer person with it.
