A tendency is noticeable in scholars making a special study of a particular branch of Buddhistic literature to develop a love for same, leading him to look upon the other branches of the literature with disfavour. This accounts for the lack of sympathy sometimes evinced by a scholar in the field of Hīnayāna towards the subjects pertaining to Mahāyāna. This state of things ought to be removed by a widening of outlook through an extension of the field of study by each scholar so as to embrace the one towards which he is unsympathetic without any good grounds.
