For the nature of this [poetic manifestation], which is the secret of all good poets' poetry (satkavi-kāvya), which, moreover, is clearly seen to be at work in such great poems as the Rāmāyaṇa and the Mahābhārata, will here be revealed so that the bliss [which arises] in the hearts of sensitive readers. . . may take firm hold in their hearts”.
