Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Śrī Gaurasundara began to exhibit such ingenious scholastic pastimes that He easily refuted the challenges of all ordinary people and established His own conclusions. He would first refute a challenge and then reestablish it by His own ingenuity.
