Kavirāja: Han maharaj. Ye idhar ke ang me jo hai, jo vāyu hai blood ka circulation jo hai usko rok diye. Aj iska intezam kar diya jayega. Abhi kuch shanti hui hai? (Yes Mahārāja. On this side, the air caused the blood circulation to stop. We will make the arrangement for this today. Are you feeling some relief now?)

Bhavānanda: Also, before he complained of the heaviness, he was feeling very cold, yet so many blankets and quilts, and he threw them all off.

Kavirāja: . . . (indistinct) . . . Medicine de rahe hain na wo thanda rehta hai. (The medicine we are giving, that creates a cold.)
