supremacy of karmas over God. Therefore I had to refute the administrator and benevolent of this world i.e. God. Without going into further details I decided at my own sweet will to die in this fodder fire as repentance for my sins. My acts were without flaws. However for teaching people, I am observing such repentance at my own sweet will. Please induct my successor and disciple Mamdana Mi ra in your doctrine of Advaitav da. I am of the firm opinion that he will definitely bring glory to your doctrine of Advaitav da all over the country.
Immediately amkar c rya bid farewell to Kum rilla and went to have scriptural discussions with Mamdana Mi ra and arrived at the palatial building of Mamdana Mi ra.
Actually Mamdana Mi ra was the foremost amongst leading scholars of that time. He was the foremost leader in scholarship of all other religions other than Advaita. amkar c rya experienced that defeating Mamdana Mi ra will be like defeating all other scholars of India. Finding such a disciple through the medium of scriptural discussions will be supremely beneficial for preaching his doctrine and Vedic religion. With these thoughts he started scriptural discussions with Mamdana Mi ra.
The supreme intellectual Bh rat , wife of Mamdana Mi ra was made the referee to decide about the loser and winner in these scriptural
scussions. While presenting his complete doctrine, amkar c rya declared that if he loses this discussion then he will give up his passionate cloths and wear white cloths of a householder.
Similarly Mamdana Mi ra also vowed, “I vow that if I lose this discussion, I will give up this householder's dress and become a monk.' On hearing the logic of amkar c rya, Mamdana Mi ra became helpless and unable to respond. The rosary in his neck became dirt. His wife Bh rat declared amkar c rya as winner and Mamdana Mi ra as a loser. By defeating the greatest scholar of that time Mamdana Mi ra, amkar c rya achieved envious position amongst the scholars of India.
Bh rat said to amkar c rya, 'O scholar! You have defeated my husband now. However your victory will be complete when you defeat me also. Your victory is only half as the woman is better half of man.'
