v2.c77.218
Vāmana says that ‘aujjvalya’ is that quality of the colouring of a picture which makes the picture always look new and fresh. ‘Aujjvalya’ is brilliancy which ensures the life of a picture. Otherwise the picture fades and looks very old. This quality is borrowed by him in poetry and he says that poetry looks brilliant and preserves that brilliancy by the quality of ‘kānti’ in the words chosen.
