याता लोचन-गोचरं यदि विधेर् एणेक्षणा सुन्दरीनेयं कुङ्कुम-पङ्क-पिञ्जर-मुखी तेनोज्झिता स्यात् क्षणम् ।नाप्यामीलित-लोचनस्य रचनाद् रूपं भवेद् ईदृशंतस्मात् सर्वम् अकर्तृकं जगद् इदं श्रेयो मतं सौगतम् ।। (Subhāṣita-Ratna-Koṣa 440)If this gazelle-eyed beauty had crossed the creator’s eyes,he could never have let her go.And surely,he couldn’t have produced these features with his eyes closed.From this we see that the Buddhists have it right:There is no creator.

नपुंसकम् इति ज्ञात्वा तां प्रति प्रहितं मनः ।रमते तच् च तत्रैव हताः पाणिनिना वयम् ।। (SRK 478)Knowing that ‘mind’ is neuter, I sent mine to her; but now it refuses to return; I’ve been ruined by Pāṇini.(Pāṇini, was a Sanskrit grammarian from ancient India. The word for mind, manas, is of neuter gender in Sanskrit.)
