And,
गुरुवपुरिति चित्रं वीरमानीति दर्प
बलितम इति खेदं यो रिपूणां चकार ।। The dramatic sense and the poetic ability of Rämcandra place him, in my opinion, much above the playwrights of the decadent period of the Sanskrit drama whose compositions continually slip 10 the unrestrained rhetoric and verbiosity of their own making. For a Jaina writer trained in the religious and philosopbical traditions this achievement in the sphere of art is worthy of praise.
