c12.s2.5

‘This poem can be understood only by a comment; it suffices that it is a feast for the clever and that the stupid come to grief in it as a result of my love of learning.’ Bhāmaha rather clumsily repeats in almost identical terms this verse. The list of Alaṁkāras given by Bhaṭṭi is in a certain measure original, when compared with those of Daṇḍin and Bhāmaha; its source is still unknown.
