1.3.16

kiṃ ca-
candro' yaṃ śyāma eṣa prthama-jaladharaḥ kāntibhir viśva-dīpaḥ
śobhante vidyutas tā iha sapadi jahatyātma-sattām amūs tu |
nakṣatrāṇīha līnāny api bata kumate no nabhaḥ sā sabhāsāv
ity anyonyaṃ vinodād vivadanam udabhūt tatra śaśvat kavīnām ||

Moreover:
"This moon is dark, this is a cloud laden with water, illuminating the world with its splendor;
here the flashes of lightning look beautiful; yet those [real lightnings] at once lose their existence!
The stars are hidden here—oh, foolish one, this is not the sky, it is an assembly!"—
thus an endless, playful dispute arose among the poets there. ||
