Gita Govinda 1.1.4

1.1.4

Umāpatidhara makes his speech sprout; Jayadeva alone knows the pure composition of words;
Śaraṇa is praiseworthy for swiftness in difficult passages; none is renowned to rival
Master Govardhana in compositions on true subjects heightened by erotic sentiment;
and the king of poets, Dhoyī, is a living storehouse of what he has heard.

1.1.4.p1
