Bhakti-caru: Ye dard hone ke pehle sharir me bahut bhari maloom ho raha tha. Prabhupāda ji ne bola sharir bahut bhari maloom hota hai. (Before this pain, the body felt very heavy. Prabhupāda said the body felt very heavy.)

Kavirāja: Accha. Ye idhar wala ang ya sab side. (Okay. This side or his entire body?)

Bhavānanda: He said all over.

Bhakti-caru: Sara body. (Entire body.)

Prabhupāda: Ye jo vāyu hai . . . (The air which is there . . .)

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.

Prabhupāda: Blood pressure is . . . blood pressure.

Bhakti-caru: Blood pressure dekhenge ap? (Will you check the blood pressure?)

Kavirāja: Han blood pressure dekhenge. (Yes, I will check the blood pressure.)

Bhakti-caru: Dard hone ke pehle thoda thanda lag raha tha to wo kambal wagera sab lagaya gaya tha par uske bad me unhone sab kuch fenk diye. (Before the pain, he was feeling a little cold, so we put the blankets on him but after that he threw everything off.)

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

Bhakti-caru: Medicines that have been given, they might have caused some cold in the body. Milk also is quite cooling. Milk also has that effect.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda? Are you feeling a little relief now? You should rest now. Try and take some rest now, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Bhavānanda: The swelling's gone down every day. It's not increasing ever. Have you noticed? Every day it goes down a little more and more.

Bhakti-caru: Sujan har roz thoda thoda kamta hai. (The swelling is reducing a little bit day by day.)

Kavirāja: Bahut badhiya hai. Sabse acha hai. (Very nice. It's very good.)

Bhakti-caru: He said that's a very good sign.

Kavirāja: Teen char din se koi swelling ka dawai hi nahi diye. (For the last 3 to 4 days, we did not give any medicine for the swelling.)

Bhakti-caru: He said since last three, four days he's not given any medicine for the swelling. (end)
