Eagerness Does Not Establish a Conclusion

“Whatever conclusions Vallabha Bhaṭṭa eagerly presented were refuted by personalities like Advaita Ācārya.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 7.101, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Vallabha Bhaṭṭa eagerly presented his conclusions.
  • Personalities like Advaita Ācārya refuted whatever conclusions he presented.
  • His eagerness did not make his conclusions sound. In this setting, repeated argument did not establish his position.
