TRANSLATION

Those who were acquainted with government officers met with them and
begged for camphor and sandalwood, which they collected.

PURPORT

It appears that malayaja-candana (sandalwood) and camphor were used for the
Jagannatha Deity. The camphor was used in His aratrika, and the sandalwood was
used to smear His body. Both these items were under government control;
therefore the devotees had to meet with the government officials. Informing
them of all the details, they attained permission to take the sandalwood and
camphor outside Jagannatha Puri.
