The author makes two \*gandharvas\*, Kṛśānu and Kṛśāśva, debating with each other on merits and demerits of phenomena. During the course of their debate, Veṅkaṭādhvarin gives dramatic directions like \*sārdhāṅgīkāram\* (accepting half-heartedly). Veṅkaṭādhvarin also introduces the idea of reaching a compromise by way of agreeing to disagree. He calls it \*sandhi\*. Viśvāvasu after initial disagreement on the discussion about Rāmānuja and his sect, finally says that he would like to enter into a \*sandhi\* to felicitate Ramānuja’s contribution.⁴⁵ ### [c5.s8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s8.2) In fact, the whole debate between Kṛśānu and Kṛśāśva in \*Viśvaguṇādarśacampū\* is an example of agreement on the differences. ## Linked texts (1) - [Viśvaguṇādarśacampū](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.sthala.visvagunadarsa) — Veṅkaṭādhvarin 1630, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s8) · Pramāṇa
