His devotion to Gv., however does not prevent Gn. to explore some more interesting topics not referred to by Gv. Tt. in no way, is a short cut to Tpk. It is a thesis pregnant with scholarly discussions that may enrich the value of the original treatise, just as the Dinakarī enriches the Nsm.
Thus it will be seen that Gn. is a lover of details. He is not inclined to furnish any new theory of his own. He is concerned more with presenting the subtle points of Navya-Nyāya, which he has digested from the works of his predecessors. His originality, therefore, lies in the novelty of approach rather than that of the ideas. And because of that, Tt. can serve as a handy volume for the beginners of the Navya-Nyāya, and at the same time it may prove a ready reference to the scholars of Indian philosophy in general.
