# Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 38 Text 17

**[Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 38 Text 17](https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/10/38/17/)**

 

*
samarhaṇaṁ yatra nidhāya kauśikas
tathā baliś cāpa jagat-trayendratām
yad vā vihāre vraja-yoṣitāṁ śramaṁ
sparśena saugandhika-gandhy apānudat
* 

TRANSLATION
By offering charity to that lotus hand, Purandara and Bali earned the status of Indra, King of heaven, and during the pleasure pastimes of the rāsa dance, when the Lord wiped away the gopīs’ perspiration and removed their fatigue, the touch of their faces made that hand as fragrant as a sweet flower.
