Devanagari script
सुगन्धाश्चाथ निष्पन्दा सर्वाश्चाप्सरसः समाः / संप्रयोगस्तु कामेन माद्यं दिवि हरं विना
Transliteration
sugandhāścātha niṣpandā sarvāścāpsarasaḥ samāḥ / saṃprayogastu kāmena mādyaṃ divi haraṃ vinā
Translation
All those apsaras are fragrant, unshaken, and alike in their divine nature. Yet in heaven, union with Kāma brings intoxication—Hara (Śiva) alone excepted.
