[plays mrdaṅga]

Krsna-kanti: I didn't bring the [indistinct] cord.

Devotee (2): What is it?

Krsna-kanti: I'll go and get it. There's a cord that reaches in there and I didn't bring it because I wasn't expecting it, I have to go and get it.

[plays mrdaṅga]

Prabhupada: Play with me.

[clapping, tapping karatalas and mrdaṅga]

Krsna-kanti: I figured out how to do it while I was gone. So don't think we'll put in the mrdaṅga right now.

Prabhupada: [indistinct] but we shall do nicely tomorrow [indistinct].

Krsna-kanti: [indistinct] today that I have to erase the tambura.

Prabhupada: Yes, tambura is not nice.

Krsna-kanti: No, it's not necessary, okay.

Prabhupada: Beyond the tune, you have to make according to the tune then it will be.

Why don't you practice?

Devotee: [indistinct]

Prabhupada: Make a record and practice [indistinct].

Prabhupada: Yes, can you play?

Devotee: Yes. [end]
