⁷ Cf. his prefatory remarks — “युक्तोऽयमात्मसदृशान् प्रति मे प्रयत्नो, नास्त्येव तज्जगति सर्वमनोहरं यत्। केचिज्ज्वलन्ति विकसन्त्यपरे निमीलन्त्यन्ये यदभ्युदयभाजि जगत्प्रदीपे।। इह सम्प्रतिपत्तितोऽन्यथा वा ध्वनिकारस्य वचोविवेचनं नः। नियतं यशसे प्रपत्स्यते यन्महतां संस्तव एव गौरवाय।।” (I am appropriately making an effort for those who are like me, everything is not agreeable in this world. When the lamp of the world (the Sun) rises in the horizon, some start burning, some are blooming, while others wither out. The propositions of the author of *dhvani* theory by agreements or disagreements are being taken up here for fame, because acquaintance with great theories leads to glory.)
