[INDOLOGY] My verse on scholars and poets

[Madhav Deshpande]

My verse on scholars and poets:

पाण्डित्यं च कवित्वं च नैव तुल्यं कदाचन ।
युध्यन्ते पण्डिता: शब्दै: क्रीडन्ति कवयो मुदा ।।

Scholarship and poetry are never alike. Scholars conduct warfare with
words, while poets play with words happily.
