The Genius of Pratbha. Is the Poet greater than the Philosopher?

Bhatta's Kavykantaka

"There are two paths of the goddess of speech; one is sastra (philosophy), the other is kavikarma (poetry). The first arises from intellectual ability (prajna) the second from genius (pratibha)".

Abhinavagupta on Pratibha:
"Creative imagination. The form of intelligence which is able to create new things".

From wikipedia on Sphota

Sphota (literally "bursting, opening") denotes the "internal and imperceptible element of sounds and words and the vehicle of the idea which bursts or flashes on the mind when a sound is uttered" (Monier-Williams). The concept was introduced by Bhartrihari in ca. the 6th century AD. The notion of "flash or insight" or "revelation" central to the concept has induced much learned debate in Indian philosophy of language.
Bhartrihari refers to the meaning of an utterance that is not affected by variations in performance, taking the "bursting forth" to refer to the idea that by uttering of certain sounds is induced as a mental state in the listener in a flash of recognition or intuition (pratibhā "shining forth")
