Prabhupāda: They'll never give us. Jayapatākā: They're willing to give; they just want a higher price.

Prabhupāda: What is the use? [break] Jayapatākā: He wants six thousand rupees. [Prabhupāda laughs] He has got three and a half bighās, about twenty thousand rupees...

Prabhupāda: We don't want it. Bhavānanda: Yes. [break] Jayapatākā: This is all four feet. It used to be ten feet high.

This used to be ten feet high. [break] ...the top during the monsoon. But according to the Ganges level the water is going up and down.

Prabhupāda: Now what is the depth? Jayapatākā: It's about twelve feet now.

Prabhupāda: That's all right. [break] This is not our land? Jayapatākā: This sugarcane is our land, but this is not our land. That's why here the top became narrow.
