Somehow he consoled himself and thought, "While studying the Vedas, He also must have developed the same doubt which I have. Hence I shall not accept his greatness until and unless he is able to clear my doubt". As it is said. ““यस्याग्रे न गलति संशयः समूलो ।

We cannot call him a Pandit i.e. Scholar who is unable to clarify our doubts completely. Indrabhuti said to Lord Mahavira, "Yes I have this doubt regarding the existence of soul, as you have told. How will you clear my doubt? Do have you any answer? If so answer and I will agree that you are an omniscient, not otherwise".
Lord Mahavira said to him very politely, anybody possessing Omniscience, does not depend upon some body's recognition. One does not cease to be an omniscient if some one does not accept it. So recognition is not essential, but what is essential is the knowledge of it. The Vedic statements are correct but you are unable to interpret them rightly and grasp the correct meaning. The exact interpretation and the correct
meaning of the Vedic statements are as follows:
“विज्ञानघन इति कोऽर्थः ? विज्ञानघनो ज्ञानदर्शनोपयोत्मकं विज्ञानम् । तन्मयत्वादात्मापि विज्ञानघनः, प्रतिप्रदेशं अनन्तज्ञानं पर्यायात्मकत्वात् ॥ "VIGNANGHAN" is to be understood as utilitarian philosophical knowledge which the soul possesses with the attribute mentioned above 'VIGNANGHAN'.
