One of the biggest events in the history of *śāstrārtha* during nineteenthtwentieth century was related to two stalwarts — Damodar Shastri and Bachcha Jha. Baldeva Upadhyaya (1994: 137) says that thousands of people had gathered to witness this *śāstrārtha*. In another event of similar magnitude, Paṇḍit Gangadhar Shastri is said to have defeated Paṇḍit Gattulal Shastri who was an adherent of the Vallabha sect.¹⁰⁷ This *śāstrārtha* was held at the Gopal Mandir.
