किमस्ति सत्यं जनभाषणाद्बहिः
केन प्रकारेण बहिष्कृतं भवेत् ।
तस्माद्धि काव्यं जगतीह पूजितं
निर्मीयते तत्त्वमतः कवेर्गिरा ॥
kim asti satyaṃ janabhāṣaṇād bahiḥ
kena prakāreṇa bahiṣkṛtaṃ bhavet /
tasmād dhi kāvyaṃ jagatīha pūjitaṃ
nirmīyate tattvam ataḥ kaver girā //
*************************************
Is there any Truth outside people’s language?
In what (other) way could it be manifested?
That’s why poetry is so highly praised in this
world, because the true nature of things is
expressed in the words of a poet!
