Proficiency is considered as good when it is showy!



One must make
…two assistants to praise him;

Lot of golden rings
…must adorn his fingers; - In the serene place

he must be resting
…either on cotton cushion or silky spread;

In that case, his proficiency is considered as good
…even if it is poisonous or bitter!
