Lady devotee: They have.

Haṁsadūta: They have that. They already have that, Prabhupāda. Yes.

Prabhupāda: You must give them copies. Is there any name Madana-mohana dāsa? Yes? There is? So his name should be Baradrāj. B-a-r-a-d, Baradrāj, r-a-j, Baradrāj. Baradrāj is another name of Lord Viṣṇu. Baradrāj dāsa Brahmacārī. All right. Just bow down. Bow down. Bow down.
