Adhi Sankara meeting with Kumarila bhatta.
============================================

Adhi Sankara first wanted to debate with Kumarila Bhatta who was also supposed to be an exponent of karma yoga.
Kumarila Bhatta is supposed to be an amsa of Lord Subramanya.
Kumarila wanted to defeat buddhists.So, he joined the buddist monks as a disciple and learned all the buddist scriptures from them.He did this only with the intention of destroying buddhism. i think after learning buddhists scriptures, he engaged buddists monks in debates and defeated them.But, he was filled with guilt that he joined Buddhists schools as a disciple though with a malicious intention.So, when Adhi Sankara came and asked him for a debate,he refused.He was at that moment preparing to immolate himself because of his guilt.It is he who pointed Adhi Sankara to Mandana Mishra as another exponent of karma yoga.After this, even though Sankara requested him not to immolate himself, he refused and committed suicide.
