Review Summary

  • Gana = (Guru/Laghu sequence)
  • X + Alankara = Beauty

Wrong: Ignoring Gana weight rules.
Correto: Ensuring Guru/Laghu balance.

Too many metaphors drown the meaning. Use them to highlight, not obscure.

Wrong: Overusing metaphors.
Correto: Strategic placement of figures.

A poem loses power if it shifts from high-literary to colloquial abruptly.

Wrong: Mixing informal and formal registers.
Correto: Maintain a consistent tone throughout.
