2.58

vidyayā, yathā-
bindu-dvandva-taraṅgitāgra-saraṇiḥ kartā śiro-bindukaṃ
karmeti krama-śikṣitānvaya-kalā ye ke' pi tebhyo namaḥ |
ye tu grantha-sahasra-śāṇakaṣaṇa-truṭyat-kalaṅkair girām
ullekhaiḥ kavayanti bilhaṇa-kavis teṣv eva saṃnahyati ||

Through learning, as in:
“‘A pair of dots marks the beginning of the path for the agent; a dot at the top marks the patient’— / salutations to whoever they are whose knowledge of syntax has been learned in this order! / But as for those who compose poetry with strokes of words whose stains are broken by grinding on the whetstone of a thousand treatises, / it is against them alone that the poet Bilhaṇa girds himself!”
