रामायणमंजरी - अरण्य - चराः

कवीनां प्रतिभा चक्षुः शास्त्रं चक्षुर्विपश्चिताम् |
ज्ञानं चक्षुर्महर्षीणां चराश्चक्षुर्महीक्षिताम् ||

- रामायणमंजरी, अरण्य

For poets - their talent is their eyes. Scriptures are the eyes of a wise man. Knowledge (about the universe) is the eye of a sage. A king has his spies as his eyes.
