“The combined cooling effect of camphor, roots of khasakhasa and sandal-
wood is surpassed by the coolness of Krsna’s palms and the soles of His feet,
which are cooler and more pleasing than millions upon millions of moons. tf
women are touched by them even once, their minds are enticed, and the
burning poison of lusty desire for Krsna is immediately vanquished.”’
