[in car] Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ...demon came here to try and make Rāmeśvara leave with him.

Devotee: Tried to take him home. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: A big demon.

Rāmeśvara: Yes. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, his father arranged it.

Devotee: His father sent him. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: A very big demon. And Rāmeśvara preached to him, and... What happened?

Rāmeśvara: We made him very embarrassed by preaching to him. He felt very insignificant. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Rāmeśvara Mahārāja called him a jackass [laughter] and many other things.

Prabhupāda: So how he was trying to kidnap you?

Rāmeśvara: Yes, and we tried to prove to him that he was afraid of death and we are not. We are better situated. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda wants to know how did he actually try to kidnap you: by telling you, or by his philosophy?
