bhāla kahena, — carmāmbara dambha lāgi’ pari
carmāmbara-paridhāne saṁsāra nā tari

bhāla — well; kahena — He said; carma-ambara — the garment of deerskin; dambha — prestige; lāgi’ — for the matter of; pari — I put on; carma-ambara-paridhāne — by putting on a garment of skin; saṁsāra — the material world; nā tari — I cannot cross.
