Once Adhi Sankara was challenged to a debate by a very old man.During the debate, Adhi sankara's concepts of his philosophy(Gnana marga) became increasingly clearer to him.The debate was making him realise more subtle points of his philosophy.The od man was none other than sage vyasa.
since, sankara was supposed to be an amsa of Shiva and Vyasa that of Vishnu, one of the disciples of sankara who was watching the debate is said to have commented that "who is lucky to see a debate between Vishnu and Shiva themselves!"
