Today we will look at the form कृष्णाङ्घ्रिपद्ममधुलिट् from श्रीमद्भागवतम् SB 6-3-33

कृष्णाङ्घ्रिपद्ममधुलिण् न पुनर्विसृष्टमायागुणेषु रमते वृजिनावहेषु ।
अन्यस्तु कामहत आत्मरजः प्रमार्ष्टुमीहेत कर्म यत एव रजः पुनः स्यात् ।। ६-३-३३ ।।

Gita Press translation “He who enjoys like a bee the sweetness of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s lotus-feet (by contemplating on them) delights no more in the enjoyments brought forth by Māyā (Prakṛti), once they have been given up by him as conducive to suffering. The other man (who does not enjoy the sweetness of those feet and) who is (consequently) buffeted by desires takes to action (alone in the shape of an expiatory process) in order to atone for his sin — action which leads only to sin again (inasmuch as it does not purify the mind and thus proves no better than the path of an elephant, which throws dust on its body as soon as it emerges from water after the bath.)”
