The theme can be paraphrased in following sentences. Let me try along side translating the theme into Sanskrit.
(1) A water-container when full
will not make noise |

it would make much sound |

To be able to compose and present a good thought as a one would need a good vocabulary. It
seems more important for poets to have Thesaurus than a dictionary. Possibly the concept of a thesaurus owes
