Samantbhadra, the great debater, is praised in this verse. The verse states that those who were not good debaters, the *kuvadins*, would speak harshly to their wives, but when they encountered Samantbhadra, they would become sweet-tongued and say, "Protect us, protect us," or "You are our protector." The second verse describes how the *kuvadins* would look down and scratch the ground with their thumbs when Samantbhadra entered a gathering. This shows the immense influence Samantbhadra had on his opponents, causing them to become dejected and confused.
