at Laxman Balaji and found very distinctly that the only doctrine aparting justice to the Sutrakara and based on Astika Darshana was his Brrahmavada
In the mean time he heard that a great religious meeting is called by Kushnadevaraya, the powerful monarch of Vijaynagaiam, to examine the merits and dements of the several other doctiines and religious system of Hinduism The king himself was a great Scholar and when the superiority of mayavada was preached before him he wished it would be better if this matter be decided in the Court of the learned pandits and Acharyas of India
Consequently the great religious conference wes organised. The great learned pandits and Acharyas of the country were invited. Considering this to be the most suitablo opportunity to preach his Brahmavada, he made his way to Vijaynagaram The session seems to have been going on when Vallabhacharya entered the session room It seems that the Shankara learned pandits were on the eve of winning the Sabha when Vallabhacharya made his appearance there When he was asked to speak something he very humbly but firmly asked, on what subject the discussion was going on.
