It is said that a Naiyāyika, in order to test the profoundness of Sarkara's knowledge, once asked him to explain the difference between the conceptions of liberation of the Nyaya and the Vaiģēsika schools. The questioning Naiyayika was a very concrited person and so addressed Sankara as follows: "-Vada sarvaviççēt no çēt pratijñām tyaja sarvavittvo " -Samksõpa-Samkara-vijayah.
