Prabhupada: [sings Jaya Radha-Madhava] [prema-dhvani] Thank you very much.

Devotees: All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! [devotees offer obeisances]

Prabhupada: Yes, after bathing.

Devotee: After bathing.

Prabhupada: Read it from the very beginning. Read it.

Devotee:

om purnam adah purnam idam
purnat purnam udacyate
purnasya purnam adaya
purnam evavasisyate

"The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him…"

Prabhupada: No, the verses, the original verse you cannot read?

Devotee: Sanskrit?

Prabhupada: Yes, Sanskrit.

Devotee:

dhrtarastra uvaca
dharma-ksetre kuru-ksetre...

Prabhupada: Original verse read. Anyone who can the original verse?

[aside:] Sit down.

You can read. You can sit down and read. Original verse.

Devotee:

om purnam adah purnam idam
purnat purnam udacyate
purnasya purnam adaya...

Prabhupada: No translation; simply original verse.

Devotee:

...purnam evavasisyate
