Bhakti-cāru:
He said it was due to air. [Transl. Does it pain in the legs due to gas?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Yes, little. Less in the hands more in the legs.] [Kavirāja attends Prabhupāda; Bhavananda and Bhakti-caru answering questions]

Bhakti-cāru:
He said that in whole body, but there’s less in the hands, more in the legs.

Bhagatjī:
Left leg, huh?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Did Shastrijī get the medicine he was looking for in Jaipur?

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Did you get the medicine from Jaipur?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Pradyumna Ācārya met, Mahārāja. Had a talk with Pradyumna Ācārya, that is why 2 hours…]

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
He saw Pradyumna?

Bhakti-cāru:
Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Any message for Prabhupāda?

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Here, take this medicine.]

[Transl. Should I give water Śrīla Prabhupāda?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Did he pass yesterday?]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. No.]

Bhavānanda:
Śrīla Prabhupāda? Have you finished passing urine?

Prabhupāda:
Eh?

Bhavānanda:
Passing urine is finished?

Prabhupāda:
I never passed.

Bhavānanda:
Do you have to now? No.

Kavirāja:
[Transl. What happened?]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. He didn’t pass urine.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Didn’t pass till now?]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. No.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. What did he take last night?]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. At night only milk.]

Bhavānanda:
Tell him Prabhupāda was saying he is heavy all over his body. Just before all this pain, he was feeling heavy.

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Before this pain, he was feeling heaviness in the body.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. What?]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. In the body, Śrīla Prabhupāda was saying, feeling heaviness.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. I see. This side or All over the body?]

Bhakti-cāru:
Which side? The left side of the body?

Bhavānanda:
He said all over.

Bhakti-cāru:
All over. [Transl. to kavirāja: All over the body.]

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

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

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Did you check blood pressure?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. What?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. blood pressure.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Will you check blood pressure?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Yes. I will check blood pressure.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Before pain he was feeling cold. So we covered him with blankets and quilts. But after a while he didn’t want them.]

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

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

Kavirāja:
[Transl. About 11 o’clock. Air, bile and mucus are the root cause of all diseases in the world. Due to weakness there is a chance of interruption in blood circulation on the left side of the body.]

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
What did he say?

Bhakti-cāru:
He said that there are three things that cause disease: vāyu, pitta and kapha. And due to weakness, the… [coldness, heat and air]

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]
