For example , there is a lyric " Yeh Mahelo, yeh banavat ki Duniya" in Guru Dutt classic. One can interpret it many ways. This is brilliant lyrics. Absolute beauty. If written in prose then you have to write it in detail.
There is a lot of poverty in India, why do want to build such big mansions and live so opulently , o man!!, when you can have a home like Warren Buffet , do a lot of charity for others. So what happens is that Warren Buffet living in a three bed room home does not live opulently like the rich in India do still after this great lyrics of Sahir in a Guru Dutt film.
The point here , lyrics can be seen as a poetic comment on society and not a detailed description. That is where Valmiki scores over Kamban in terms of legal interpretation. For sheer poetry, Kamban may be great, but as it is said, all is in details, so Valmiki will be good for legal counsel.
