Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu said to Kazi : ‘In this Age of Kali, five acts are forbidden: the offering of a horse in sacrifice, the offering of a cow in sacrifice, the acceptance of the order of sannyāsa, the offering of oblations of flesh to the forefathers, and a man’s begetting children in his brother’s wife.’
“Since you Muslims cannot bring killed cows back to life, you are responsible for killing them. Therefore you are going to hell; there is no way for your deliverance. “Cow-killers are condemned to rot in hellish life for as many thousands of years as there are hairs on the body of the cow.
“There are many mistakes and illusions in your scriptures. Their compilers, not knowing the essence of knowledge, gave orders that were against reason and argument.”
After hearing these statements by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the Kazi, his arguments stunned, could not put forward any more words. Thus, after due consideration, the Kazi accepted defeat and spoke as follows.
Kazi said: — “My dear Nimāi Paṇḍita, what You have said is all true.Our scriptures have developed only recently, and they are certainly not logical and philosophical. “I know that our scriptures are full of imagination and mistaken ideas, yet because I am a Muslim I accept them for the sake of my community, despite their insufficient support. “The reasoning and arguments in the scriptures of the meat-eaters are not very sound,” the Kazi concluded.
