In the Harivamsha Purana,
The verses of Siddhasena, like the pure words of Rishabha, enlighten the minds of the virtuous. ||15||
How can the words of Devnandī, the revered one, who observes Indra, Chandra, Arka, and Jainendra grammar, not be revered? ||30||
The pronouncements of Vajrasūri, who investigates bondage and liberation with reason, are like the pronouncements of the Ganadharas, the expounders of Dharmaśāstras. ||32||
Who has not described the story of Mahasena, adorned with sweetness and the ornament of character, like a beautiful woman with lovely eyes? ||33||
The poetic form of Ravishena Ācharya, like the form of the sun, is very dear to the world, for just as the form of the sun brings about the blossoming and radiance of lotuses, so too does the poetic form of Ravishena Ācharya bring about the rise of Śrī Rāma, by composing the Padma Purana. And just as the form of the sun changes every day, so too does the poetic form of Ravishena Ācharya change and become familiar every day. ||34||
Just as a beautiful woman, with her hands, face, feet, and other limbs, inspires deep affection in people, so too do the meaningful words of the Varanga Charita, with all its verses, ornaments, and styles, inspire deep affection in everyone. ||35||
The witty compositions of Śānta (Śāntiṣena), with their beautiful similes, delight the mind and make it attached to the beautiful meaning. ||36||
Those who are special in all the special types of speech, in both prose and verse, and who expound the three specialities (special texts), are the special speakers. ||37||
