Vandin was known as a notorious debater. Defeated by him in a debate, Kahoḍa had to be drowned in waters. When Aṣṭāvakra came to know of this unsavoury episode, he decided to visit the premises of the sacrifice. Upon being told that only elders are allowed to enter the pavilion of the sacrifice, Aṣṭāvakra gave a scholarly discourse defining who is a real elder.
