Katame cattāro? What four?
Cintākavi, sutakavi, atthakavi, paṭibhānakavi—A poet who thoughtfully composes their own work, a poet who repeats the oral transmission, a poet who educates, and a poet who improvises.
Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro kavī”ti. These are the four poets.”

Duccaritaṁ diṭṭhi akataññū ca,
Pāṇātipātāpi dve maggā;
Dve vohārapathā vuttā,
Ahirikaṁ duppaññakavinā cāti.
