asti ca kkacidudvegaḥ prayoge vāgvidāṃ yathā .
haṃsīva dhavalaścandraḥ sarāsīvāmalaṃ nabhaḥ ..
bhartṛbhakto bhaṭaḥ śvave khadyoto bhāti bhānuvat ..
īdṛśaṃ varjyate sadbhiḥ kāraṇaṃ tatra cintyatām .." iti .

And there is disquiet in usage, for masters of speech, in cases like this:
The moon is white like a female swan; the sky is pure like a lake;
The warrior devoted to his master shines like a dog; the firefly shines like the sun—
Such is avoided by the good; the reason for this should be considered."
