গুরু-শিষ্য-ন্যায়ে সত্য শিষ্যের পরাজয় ।
ভারতী কহে, — এহো নহে, অন্য হেতু হয় ॥ ১৭৩ ॥

Text

guru-śiṣya-nyāye satya śiṣyera parājaya
bhāratī kahe, — eho nahe, anya hetu haya

Synonyms

guru-śiṣya-nyāye — when there is a logical argument between the spiritual master and the disciple; satya — certainly; śiṣyera — of the disciple; parājaya — defeat; bhāratī kahe — Brahmānanda Bhāratī said; eho nahe — in this case it is not the fact; anya hetu — another cause; haya — there is.

Translation

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu thus posed Himself as a disciple and accepted Brahmānanda Bhāratī as His spiritual master. He then said, “The disciple is certainly defeated in an argument with the spiritual master.”

Purport

Brahmānanda Bhāratī immediately countered these words, saying, “This is not the cause of Your defeat. There is another cause.
