Translation
When the Lord’s two nostrils separately manifested themselves, the dual Aśvinī-kumāras entered them in their proper positions, and because of this the living entities can smell the aromas of everything.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
When the nostrils of the universal form (adhibhūta) became differentiated, the presiding deities Aśvinī-kumāras (adhidaiva) entered along with the portion the subtle sense organ the nose (adhyātma). By the nose smell (adhibhūta) appeared.
Yataḥ means from the nose.
