Chitrangada [3]

Am I to conclude either that your Chitrangada is not worth revising because it is a fragment or that whatever of it we have is already perfect poetry? Else why have you shelved the question of revision?

It is under consideration and will probably remain so for some time. As for perfect poetry, I don’t know that it can be made into that – some revision here and there at the most is all that is possible. But this is not the moment.
