Prabhupāda: Cāpāṭi, in Middle East also they eat.
Gaṇeśa: Yes, in Lebanon.
Paramahaṁsa: In Tehran we saw those big cāpāṭis.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Paramahaṁsa: Six feet long.
Prabhupāda: Yes, so big. One cāpāṭi is sufficient for the whole family. (laughter) They are sold in market, purchased.
Śrutakīrti: Very cheaply.
Paramahaṁsa: Only three or four cents apiece.
Prabhupāda: Ācchā?
Paramahaṁsa: Yeah.
Prabhupāda: They don't make much profit. That is the oriental culture. They make little profit, they are satisfied. Still in India you will find many hotel, very cheap, very cheap. Especially Muhammadan hotels. Still, by paying eight annas, you can get full meal.
Gaṇeśa: When Rāvaṇa was on the earth, was the whole earth populated, like Brazil and also the other parts of the world?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Everywhere population. This is a new theory of the rascals that there was no civilization before three thousand years. This is a wrong theory. Everything was there.
Gaṇeśa: So when Mahārāja Yayāti banished his sons to those kingdoms, they were already populated there.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
Paramahaṁsa: They seem to be pretty much kṣatriya races.
Prabhupāda: And during Kurukṣetra fight, all different kings joined, either to this party or that party.
Amogha: Oh, from all over the world.
Prabhupāda: It was first-grade world war, Kurukṣetra. There is the one king, Śaibya, so he came from Śibiya. Where is Śibiya?
Amogha: Siberia?
Prabhupāda: Śibiya.
Amogha: Oh, Śibiya? That's Africa.
Prabhupāda: No, maybe there. There were. . . All the kings of the world, they joined either this party or that party. Friends, friendly countries, they joined. Just like Kṛṣṇa. He personally joined Arjuna, but He gave His soldiers to Duryodhana. It was family war. So the friends divided, "I will join you." It was sporting. For the kṣatriya, fighting is sporting, just like football match. They did not take it as enmities. Just in the evening they are friends. This party goes to that party, that party goes to. . . It is a decision who will be king, that's all. Test of strength. Actually it was not enmity. "Let us fight, and who is strong, he will be king," that's all.
