It is worth noting two words, for they describe what every writer knows. The first — sva-icchayā, "by its own will," that is, by the will of speech itself, not of the speaker. The second — vivakṣita, "wishing to be spoken," from vivakṣ, the desiderative of vac: literally "that which wants to be said."
That is, a state is described in which words press to come out; and the description is precise. Let us add what this state means and does not mean. It does not mean that what is said is true: speech that flows easily can also be empty or false; ease is a property of the flow, not of the truth.
Hence it is worth remembering, to my mind, that the gift of speech is a gift, not a merit, and it is given even to those who would do better to stay silent. The Vaiṣṇava side holds this, and her rule was cited when reading the Varāha (3.26): ability is acquired by technique and testifies to nothing; character testifies. Let us add what she sets in the place of this gift and what distinguishes her.
Her speech need not be graceful; it must be about Him. And the Bhāgavatam (1.5.11) says this most sharply: a composition full of the Lord's names, even with faults of style, is heard and sung by honest people; but a flawless verse not about Him — vāyasaṃ tad yaśaḥ tīrthe uśanti mānasā, "crows relish it, but swans find no delight in it."
