Room Conversation — November 1, 1973, Delhi 731101R1-DELHI [10:25 Minutes] Conv_731101R1-DELHI Prabhupāda: ...gatvā duḥkhānusaṅgaminaḥ. There is misery. Even you go to the moon planet... This is Bhāgavata.

Before going to your moon planet, here is the information: "Anywhere you go, rascal, these things will follow, janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi [Bg. 13.9], and inconveniences you'll have suffer." So one is..., one who is intelligent, then, "Where shall I find real happiness?" That is Kṛṣṇa. Therefore one requires to be very, very intelligent to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. Sarva, sarvatra bhasananvita[?]. The Śrīdhara Svāmī gives note, sarvatra lokāntare 'pi.

Even if you go to other planet... Now these rascals are going now... Trying, not going. And in the Bhāgavata says, lokāntare 'pi.

Even in other planets. They were going in other planets. That means they were going in other planets; otherwise how it is stated, lokāntare, "in other planets also"? From the statement it appears that people used to go.

And here, Arjuna went to heavenly planet. And there the [break] ...heavenly prostitute came to Arjuna. She's prostitute. So when Arjuna refused, that...

Prabhupāda: So Arjuna said that "You have connection with my father. Therefore you are my mother." Śrutakīrti: You mentioned him in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta purport. When one yogī was performing severe austerities, Lord Indra would send the dancing girls, they were called.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Apsarās. Śrutakīrti: Yes. Prabhupāda: Apsarās. Śrutakīrti: He would send them. Prabhupāda: The same thing here. Just like prostitute. They are going to the club.
