মধুর প্রসন্ন ইহার কাব্য সালঙ্কার ।
ঐছে কবিত্ব বিনু নহে রসের প্রচার ॥ ১৯৮ ॥
madhura prasanna ihara kavya salaṅkara
aiche kavitva vinu nahe rasera pracara
madhura-sweet; prasanna-pleasing; ihara-his; kavya-poetry; sa-alaṅkara-with metaphors and other ornaments; aiche-such as that; kavitva-poetic qualifications; vinu-without; nahe-there is not; rasera-of mellows; pracara-preaching.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu praised the metaphors and other literary ornaments of Srila Rupa Gosvami's transcendental poetry. Without such poetic attributes, He said, there is no possibility of preaching transcendental mellows.
