To read him is to be reminded of astrologers, horoscope-makers, astronomers, alchemists and fortune-tellers. Generally, family matters and samsakaras engage him. To use irony with undertones, overtones, to joke with his chief property. A master poet of the oblique approach he is satiric and ironical as he laughs down seeing them, sometimes tries to correct what it ails our society.
