Rasarnavasudhakara 3.386

3.386

For example:
"Vedic scholars, like parrots reciting only by the rule of Veda recitation, are unfit; / from study of the śāstras, men have clamorous quarrels with one another like dogs; / poetry is useless, consisting of unreal subjects like dreams, magical illusions, and the like; / but for the settlement of tangled legal disputes, the Smṛti alone should be applied."

3.386.p1

Here, since faults are attributed to poetry and the rest, even though they possess merit, this is mṛdava.
