I only wanted to point out that all sampradayas and acharyas admit it as
authentic. I do consider it authentic for that reason.

I absolutely agree with you on this. It did happen, I only pointed out that
the lord never looses his cognitive power as isvara so it was a mere Leela.

I have been coming across these statements very regularly.
