*Prabhupāda: [Transl. It is air, little bit here.]

*Kavirāja: [Transl. It is the air that is obstructing the blood circulation to the fingers. Today this problem will be taken care off. Are you little relaxed now?]

Prabhupāda: Hum

Kavirāja: [ Transl.First he was feeling cold, and later he started feeling hot.]

Bhakti-cāru: [ Transl.When you will come back?]

**Bhakti-cāru: He said that there are three things that cause disease: vāyu, pitta and kapha. And due to weakness, the… [660304BG-NEW YORK]

**Kavirāja: [Transl.Say, because of the medicines also. Then at about 7:30 he started feeling cold. He is taking medicine, so due to medicine the body becomes cold.]

Bhakti-cāru: 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-cāru: [ Transl.The swelling is also getting less now.]

Kavirāja: [ Transl.That is very good.]

Bhakti-cāru: [ Transl.He said that’s a very good sign.]

Kavirāja: [ Transl.No medicine for swelling was given last three, four days.]

Bhakti-cāru: He said since last three, four days he’s not given any medicine for the swelling. [end]
