That poem alone pleases
That man alone seems charming,
Who a fancied lass finds fascinating,
That poem is a piece of art
That captivates a reader’s heart.

Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom called Subhashhitam. Which man can be called truly charming? As per this shloka, he who’s found attractive to a woman, to whom a woman is drawn. Okay, what type of poem abducts a reader’s heart? That which is found interesting to a reader who knows poetry; forget all the critics. The transliteration of the Sanskrit verse follows:
Ramanieeya sah hi purushhah,
ramanee yatra eva rajyate vidagdhaa |
Shlokah sah eva su-bhagah-chittam,
saktam hee yatra rasikasya || 217 ||
