After exchanging a few pleasantries with him the Vita proceeds further and meets a \*pithamarda\* who makes fun of the poet. He says any effort to please the poet with words was like trying to spray the ocean with water. - [Previous: c10.50](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.50) - [Next: c10.52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.52) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.51](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.51) · Pramāṇa
