Examples of laksana-vrtti are in the treatises of the munis, Yajnavalkya,

Gargi, and Maitreya, which begin with toned-down indirect inferences to the

qualities of Sri Krsna. However, at the end of these treatises, the

narratives prominently describe and establish the spiritual superiority of

Sri Krsna's qualities, which had been dealt with indirectly earlier in the

text.
