c6.s5.t7.3
The paṇḍitas argue with each other, one of them would refute what the other has said, but he will not be punished for this refutation. This is Paṇḍitavāda. But if one enters into a debate with the king and refutes what the king has said, he will be punished. This is Rājavāda. I can have a Paṇḍitavāda with you and not the Rājavāda.
