Those attracted to poetics say that hearing skillful poetry related to the Lord and seeing literary dramas related to the Lord are the main causes for realizing the nature of all these elements in the devotee and Lord.
Purport
Whenever there is a recitation of poetry or a dramatic play on the different pastimes of Kṛṣṇa, the audience develops different kinds of transcendental loving service for the Lord. They enjoy different types of vibhāva, anubhāva and sañcāri-bhāva.
