Unable to explain this essence of poetry, as described, / which flashed dimly [before them], the poetic styles were set in motion [by the ancients]. //
96.3
Being unable to explain this essence of poetry—which has been determined by the establishment of suggestion—as it flashed dimly, the poetic styles, namely the Vaidarbhī, the Gauḍī, and the Pāñcālī, were set in motion. For it is observed that this essence of poetry flashed slightly in an indistinct manner to the formulators of the definitions of poetic styles; so, once it is clearly demonstrated here, there is no need for any other definition of poetic styles. ||
