Acharya. HARIBHADRASURI
uring
the sixth century A.D., there lived a learned Brahmin named Haribhadra. He was highly intelligent & proficient in the philosophy of all religions. Among his many talents was the ability to determine the point of his opponent's argument very fast. During that time it was common for scholars to travel & engage others in debate to increase their wealth of knowledge. Therefore, Haribhadra travelled & met many brilliant scholars. He engaged them in debate & succeeded in defeating them all. Other scholars found it difficult to win any discussion with him since his talent allowed him to dominate all conversations. It was not long before he earned a reputation as a formidable opponent. Predictably, scholars avoided entering into a discussion with him.
