(94) The Lord said, “According to the scriptures, all the words and

literary ornaments that you have used are far from correct.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

When Digvijayī began to explain the verse he had composed, the Lord pointed out metaphorical faults in the beginning, middle, and end of the verse. The expert combination of words and absence of metaphorical faults necessary in the composition of a verse were not found in the Digvijayī’s verse. One should study the five faults and five qualities pointed out by the Lord in Digvijayī’s verse, as found in the Caitanya- caritāmṛta (Ādi 16.54-84).

The second line of this verse indicates that even if one wanted to establish that the words and literary ornaments were used according to their respective literary rules, it would be extremely difficult to do so.
