Dear Madhav, Congratulations on this fantastic, monumental achievement. Your work really makes आधुनिकसंस्कृतवाड़्मयम् progress and prosper. We moreover experience in your verses, whatever I have succeeded to read till now from the abundant pre-publications, a profound originally and beautifully expressed bhakti and emotional force, which brings them to the level of Kāvya. Hence, with some small variations to a well-known verse of the Bhāgavata-Purāṇa, and with reference to your extraordinary poetic vision (धीः) : अहो वयं धन्यतमाः येषां नस् तादृशः सखा । धिया यस्य मतिर् जाता अस्माकं निश्चला हरौ ॥
