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.

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: 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.
