Brahmānanda: Sophistry means some...
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Brahmānanda: ... philosophy that is not sound. Superficial.
Prabhupāda: Yes, that is... That is the remark of Dr. Rādhākrishnan, when Kṛṣṇa said like that. That means "He... Too much," because he thinks, "Kṛṣṇa is..., may be a very big man, but He's a man.
