હેતુબિંદુનો પરિચય • ૧૮૧ are endowed with exceptional intrepidity of thought, even they cannot perceive its highest truth."
"Another stanza is found in anthologies and hypothetically ascribed to Dharmakirti, because it is to the same effect. The poet compares his work with a beauty which can find no adequate bridegroom. What was the creator thinking about when he created the bodily frame of this beauty ! He has lavishly spent the beauty stulf ! He has not spared the labour ! He has engendered a mental fire in the hearts of people who thereto fore were living placidly ! And she herself is also wretchedly unhappy, since she never will find a fiance to match her !"
“In this personal character Dharmakirti is reported to have been very proud and self-reliant, full of contempt for ordinary mankind and sham scholarship. Taranatha tells us that when he finished his great work, he showed it to the pandits, but he met with no appreciation and no good will. He bitterly complained of their slow wits and their envy. His enemies, it is reported, then tied up the leaves of his work to the tail of a dog and let him run through the streets where the leaves became scattered. But Dharmakirti said, “Just as this dog runs thorugh all streets, so will my work be spread in all the world.”
