(Govinda Līlāmṛta: 8.8; cited in Caitanya-caritāmṛta: 3.16.119)“[Rādhārāṇī to Viśākhā:] The amṛta of his most lustrous lips takes away the incomparable noble women of Vraja’s thirst for [all] other rasas. A morsel of his remnants is attainable [only] by sukṛti. And the pan roll he has chewed made from fine leaves of betel defeats nectar. O sakhi, Madana-mohana increases the desire of my tongue.”

(Caitanya-caritāmṛta: 3.16.130–131)“This is the way of your lips. Please hear of further ill-conduct [on their part]. The food, drink, and pan that meet with your lips becomes like amṛta, and are then known as ‘Kṛṣṇa-phelā’ [i.e., Kṛṣṇa’s remnants]. All the devatās do not attain [even] one morsel of such phelā.’ Who can believe this pride [on the part of Kṛṣṇa’s phelā]? One who engages in puṇya for many births bears the name sukṛti [i.e., “a person of excellent action”], and [only] such a sukṛti attains a morsel of this [phelā].”
