तस्य त्रासात् पृष्ठतस्तिष्ठतॊsभूत् क्षॆमापॆक्षी यॊ जनः प्राग्जितॊsपि।

मध्यॆsन्यॆषां गॊततीस्तत्प्रयुक्ताः सॊsद्यज्जिष्णुः पंचषैर्गॊविशॆषैः॥45॥

SUMMARY: Like Arjuna destroyed with his five-six arrows against the arrows shot by  Ashwatthama and others, well-wishers of Jayadratha, who had been vanquished by him (Arjuna) earlier and had hidden himself due to fear, Sri Madhwacharyaru condemned with his five-six statements, the various arguments put up by Pundareekapuri, who was a well-wisher of Padmatirtha, who had hid himself behind, and had been defeated in previous debates by Sri Madhwaru.

It may be recalled that Jayadratha misbehaved with Draupadi and got punished by Arjuna. Due to sheer fear of Arjuna, Jayadratha him himself. Ashwatthama and others on the Kaurava side were well-wishers of Jayadratha for the simple reason that he was very much angry with Pandavas, especially Arjuna. In the epic war between Kauravas and Pandavas, Arjuna nullified the several Astras and arrows that Ashwatthama and other well-wishers of Jayadratha hurled at him (Arjuna)with a handful of arrows. Similarly, Pundareekapuri had been squarely silenced by Sri Madhwaru in the philosophical debate. Padmatirtha had also been defeated in the argument with Sri Madhwaru. Drowned in the sense of shame, Padmatirtha was hiding in the last rows of scholars that Pundareekapuri was heading. Pundareekapuri and a few other scholars were sympathisers and well-wishers of Padmatirtha. When Pundareekapuri appeared in front of Sri Madhwaru with several points to argue, Sri Madhwaru condemned all his points with five-six replies that were based on Holy Scriptures.

तस्य विष्णॊर्भूयः शॊभयद्भिः पदान्तं पारंपर्यॆणॆर्यमाणैरवार्यैः।

गॊव्रातैस्तं दारयित्वा न्यगृह्णात् कन्जाख्यानं सिन्धुपं मध्वपार्थः॥46॥

SUMMARY: Arjuna named as Sri Madhwacharyaru, brightened up the true forms of Lord Vishnu again and again, repeatedly, with his unstoppable pronounciation that was beyond condemnation, of his firm arguments, condemned that Saindhava named Padmatirtha and arrested him.

It may be recalled yet again that with his continuous burst of bright arrows from sky, Arjuna had won over Jayadratha and arrested him too. In the same manner, Sri Madhwacharyaru rained his sensible, authentic and most justifiable points from Holy Scriptures to first condemn whatever points Padmatirtha was raising and then arrested him in such a way that he had no escape route.

In Bhavaprakashika it is stated that with several lectures delivered after the main debate, Sri Madhwaru silenced Padmatirtha to such an extent that he had nothing left with except surrender.

It is further explained that Padmatirtha had become incognito for some time after getting defeated by Sri Madhwaru. When he came to know that Pundareekapuri was trying to challenge Sri Madhwaru in a debate, Padmatirtha stole the books of Sri Madhwaru in Vishnumangala. Sri Madhwaru went to a place called Yekavata, where Padmatirtha was hiding and called him for a debate. Padmatirtha demanded that questioners be invited if Sri Madhwa wanted to establish his philosophy. Sri Madhwaru asked him to invite the questioners himself. Padmantirtha claimed that his philosophy had spread far and wide and had earned the appreciation of one and all. Sri Madhwaru said that his philosophy had spread not only on earth but also in neither world (Patala Loka) as well as Heavens. Padmatirtha retorted that the philosophy of Sri Madhwaru was known to the Almighty. Sri Madhwaru said that by stating that, Padmatirtha had already accepted the Madhwa philosophy since Madhwa philosophy simply established that the Jeevatma and Paramatma are two different things where Paramatma is supreme and eternal. Padmatirtha had no further points to argue and he simply surrendered to Sri Madhwaru, as stated in Bhavaprakashika. However, the questioners too arrived and a debate ensued once again. Padmatirtha got defeated in the debate yet again. The argument put up by Sri Madhwaru in that debate came to be known as Vada or Tattwodyota.
