Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ...three days till you get a little more strength. I mean this is a very good sign, Śrīla Prabhupāda. You've taken a half a kilo of milk. No mucus, no stool.

If you get a few days of strength... I mean, I have no objection even tomorrow to take you. I just would like to hear what the kavirāja... I really have a little faith on him.

I mean I have all faith on you, Śrīla Prabhupāda. I have only a little faith on him, but I don't want to reject his advice as a doctor. This kavirāja is giving sound advice so far. Prabhupāda: Where he is? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We're just trying to get him here. He went out again to get some more medicine for you.

He says now that he's seen that you took this half kilo of milk he's going to start to give a medicine that will make this milk make muscles on your body, because all the muscles have become finished, slackened. So he wants to do that so that you'll then have strength. Parikramming the temple is not so bad. Let's just see what he says.

It's certainly not that difficult. The main thing is, you have to be able to sit up for some time. [aside:] Prabhupāda wants to become enlivened spiritually, you know, by some spiritual activity. [to Prabhupāda:] We'll ask the kavirāja if he thinks we can take you tomorrow for a short parikramā around the temple, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Hmm? That would be good. Anirdeśya-vapu: I was asking him for medicine. He just got on the phone. I talked to him.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He's coming back? Anirdeśya-vapu: Yes. He asked if the kavirāja has come, [indistinct] medicine. I said he's coming right back.
