Sangita Madhava - I remember the golden form, the avatara endowed with powers of the highest rasa, who wore red cloth, performed unlimited pastimes on the shore of the salt ocean, and who spread confidential prema-bhakti to the world. â€“ Sangita-Madhava (Chapter 1, Verse 6)
 
May the rasikas ornament this charming work of mine with literary ornaments, concentrate their minds on it with prema, and place it on their throats. â€“ Sangita-Madhava (Chapter 16, Verse 3)
