Saṁsāra-vişa-výkşasya dve phale amstopame | kāvyāmsta-rasāsvāda ālāpaḥ sajjanaiḥ saha ||
(IS. 6636) Saṁsāra-śrānta-cittānāṁ tisro viśränti-bhūmayah apatyam ca kalatram ca sadhu-saṁgatir eva ca ||
(IS. 6637) Snigdhair mugdhair vidagdhais ca yad āryais saha saṁgatiḥ etad evāyusah sāraṁ nisarga-ksaņa-bhanginaḥ
(Cānakya-rāja-nīti-śāstra 7.67) 20. Cf. also, kāvyàmrta-rasāsvāda of IS.6636 as quoted in the note 19 above. 21. Cf. also,
Anityatāvyanusstām karma-cchidrasasaṁśayāṁ || atta-säram karisyāmi katham nemām sārasvatim ||
(Mātịceta Satapañcāśataka 6) Poetical composition is called "the epitome of existence" by Jayadeva who uses the word bhava-sāra in place of saṁsāra-sära.
Śrī-jayadeva-kaver idam uditam udāram śrnu sukhadam śubhadam bhava-sāram | keśava dhrta-daśa-vidha-rūpa jaya jagad-iśa hare 11
(Gītagovinda 1.15) 22. Three things are also enumerated in a similar context.
Saṁsāra-śrānta-cittānām tisro viśrānti-bhūmayah | apatyam ca kalatraṁ ca sadhu-samgatir eva ca |||
(IS. 6637) 23. The body is often styled as asāra. For example,
Samucchrayam tadvad asäram udvahan balam vyavasyed vişayārtham udyataḥ (10cd) sariram āmād api men-mayād ghatād. idam tu niņsāratamam mataṁ mama ||
(Saundarānanda 9. 11ab)
