### CC Adi 16.86

> বিচারি’ কবিত্ব কৈলে হয় সুনির্মল ।\
> সালঙ্কার হৈলে অর্থ করে ঝলমল ॥৮৬॥

> vicāri' kavitva kaile haya sunirmala\
> sālaṅkāra haile artha kare jhalamala

*vicāri'*—with proper consideration; *kavitva*—poetic explanation; *kaile*—if done; *haya*—it becomes; *sunirmala*—very pure; *sa-alaṅkāra*—with metaphorical use of words; *haile*—if it is; *artha*—meaning; *kare*—does; *jhalamala*—dazzle.

**"Poetic skill used with due consideration is very pure, and with metaphors and analogies it is dazzling."**
