पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

VITAṆḌĀVĀDA : When arguments, which do not serve, either to establish one's own points or to cut the points of the opponent, are employed in a debate, it is called Vitaṇḍāvāda. (M.B. Sabhā Parva, Chapter 36, Stanza 4).
