Similarly in the east there were two sets of gates named NalinÄ« and NÄlinÄ«, and these were also constructed in one place. Through these gates the King, accompanied by a friend named AvadhÅ«ta, used to go to the city of Saurabha.
The two gates named NalinÄ« and NÄlinÄ« are the two nostrils. The living entity enjoys these two gates with the help of different avadhÅ«tas, or airs, which constitute the breathing process. Through these gates the living entity goes to the town of Saurabha, or aroma. In other words, the nostrils, with the help of their friend the air, enjoy various aromas in the material world. NalinÄ« and NÄlinÄ« are the pipes of the nostrils, through which one inhales and exhales, enjoying the aroma of sense pleasure.
