The enemies tried to harass him even on his way, but they could not do any wrong to him.
The Guruji saw his student and embraced him effusively. But as he came to know about what had happened, he lost his temper. Paramhansa also begged his pardon for going there against his desire and while reporting the whole matter he felt so much that he collapsed and died at once. Guru's temper then knew no bounds. He determined to take revenge.
With such determination, he went to the King Surapāla, thanked him for the valour that he had shown, and told him to arrange for a debate with the Bauddhas. Surapāla politely suggested to drop the idea, as it appeared to him that the Bauddhas were more talented; yet the Guru told him of his firm determination. So, an invitation was sent to the Bauddhas. It was also decided that one who would be defeated, should be thrown into a frying pan of boiling oil.
Then started the debate about the meanings of the Scriptures (şāstrārtha ) Gold shines the brighter, the more it is heated. in the same way, after a long discussion Kulapatı was defeated and consequently thrown into the pan of boiling oil. The debate, yet, was continued by another Bauddha He also got the same result and died. The third came the fourth, the fifth ... the sixth . ! One by one six persons were caused to die and yet the debate went on ! Suriji had no other idea than of defeating all the 1444 fellows.
At that time came two messengers with a letter from his Guru Śrī Jina Bhadra Sūri, and handed it over to Haribhadra Sūri. He read only three verses from it, and was changed. He became cool-headed.
He stopped the debate and went to his Guru, who consoled him. Haribhadra Sūrı, confessing his serious fault, repented much and asked the Guru to suggest some atonement. As he wanted to kill 1444 persons, the Guruji told him to write 1444 volumes. 41
