437:"The Rev. Migettuwatte Gunananda proved himself to be a debater of a very higher order, mettlesome, witty and eloquent, if not especially erudite. The emotions generated by this debate and the impact of Migettuwatte Gunananda's personality had lasting effects on the next generation of Buddhist activities. Migettuwatte Gunananda's triumph at Panadura set the seal on a decade of quiet recovery of Buddhist confidence. In retrospect, the establishment of the 'Society for the Propagation of Buddhism' at Kotahena, and the Lankaprakara Press at Galle would seem to mark the first positive phase in this recovery."

This was because if the behaviour of the Christian debaters had led to conflicts, the Buddhists, as the majority, could be blamed. Thus, the two parties agreed to carry out the debate in writing. Originally, the text was composed in Baddegama, though later writings were carried out in

At the end of the second day of the debate, the crowd chanted "sadhu, sadhu", displeasing the

The
Baddegama debate originated from an argument arising between a young monk named Sumangala and a Christian priest in the temple of Baddegama. Gunananda Thera and many other monks, including Bulatgama Dhammalankara, Sri Sumanatissa, Kahawe Nanananda, Hikkaduwe Sumangala,

Nilame also published his own version of a summary. Gunananda Thera issued more publications to counter
Hunupola Nilame's summary. There are no records of the Liyanagemulla debate, the only known fact is that it was held in 1866.

All these debates culminated in the most notable, the "Panadura debate" (පානදුරාවාදය), which was held two years after the
