'''Haṁsadūta:''' The following lectures were recorded in Calcutta, India, starting January 6th, 1970 following the Surat lectures, preceding lectures some were recorded at Māgh-melā. So these are being inserted under emergency conditions, being copied from Devānanda's tape recorder. And following these lectures we will have the other lectures in sequence from the Māgh-melā. All these lectures are on the story of Ajāmila, from the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''.

'''Devotee (1):''' Umm, a . . . (indistinct)

'''Prabhupāda:''' Without mosquito curtain you cannot sleep.

'''Devotee (1):''' No, we can sleep anywhere. But at Advaita Bhavan there's a fair amount of mosquitoes at night. But there's not so many that you can't sleep without mosquito coil burning.

'''Prabhupāda:''' Ohh. That's all right. (break)

'''Devotee (2):''' . . . wild goats . . . (indistinct)

'''Prabhupāda:''' Hmm . . . (indistinct)

'''Devotee (2):''' The rats in Hawaii are not so big as the rats here. They're only about this big, the body.

'''Prabhupāda:''' Every house has rats?

'''Devotee (2):''' Not every house. No.

'''Prabhupāda:''' At least Advaita Bhavan has got.

'''Devotee (2):''' They were some, but they cleaned them out. They got rid of them. I'm not sure that's actually are rat poison.

(indistinct conversation between devotees)

'''Devotee (2):''' We were getting a cow, but we joined with ISKCON just before we got the cow. We were going to get one for four hundred dollars. It was giving sixteen quarts a day and had a calf.

'''Prabhupāda:''' Sixteen quarts?

'''Devotee (2):''' A day, yes. There was a small calf also.

'''Prabhupāda:''' There must be grazing ground for cows.

'''Devotee (2):''' Yes.

'''Prabhupāda:''' Then there is no problem.

'''Devotee (2):''' There was a grazing ground. The lawn would grow . . . (indistinct)

'''Prabhupāda:''' What is that? A recording?

'''Devotee (2):''' Little.

'''Prabhupāda:''' Why? These are not important thing.

'''Devotee (2):''' True. (end)
