Pradyumna:
- tuṇḍe tāṇḍavinī ratiṁ vitanute tuṇḍāvalī-ladbhaye
- karṇa-kroḍa-kaḍambinī ghaṭayate karṇārbudebhyaḥ
- spṛhām cetaḥ-prāṅgaṇa-saṅginī vijayate sarvendriyāṇāṁ kṛtiṁ
- no jāne janitā kiyadbhir amṛtaiḥ kṛṣṇeti varṇa-dvayī
- (CC Antya 1.99)
Prabhupāda: One thing, you can record and give him.
Hari-śauri: I'll make a copy of this tape and give it to him.
Prabhupāda: Yes. No, you should recite very properly, and then it will recorded. Then it will be right.
Pradyumna: This is Sanskrit.
Jayatīrtha: That's Sanskrit? It's written in Bengali characters. I see.
Prabhupāda: In India, all different states they have got different alphabets, but the Sanskrit is the same. There is no change in Sanskrit. India's culture, all the provinces, they talk a little . . . (indistinct) . . . if you chant this mantra according to the Sanskrit tune, oh, your admirers will take it very nicely. (laughter) And that will be a great benefit to the mass of people.
George Harrison: I don't know if they'd like it.
Prabhupāda: Yes. They'll like. (laughs)
George Harrison: They don't understand. Already they don't understand such a lot. Even if you say it in English. Even when you say things to them in English, they don't understand.
Prabhupāda: That word Kṛṣṇa, if they hear, that will be sufficient.
George Harrison: (indistinct comments with devotees) We were in Vṛndāvana, somebody, we were singing in the morning, singing this "Jaya Kṛṣṇa."
Prabhupāda: Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya.
George Harrison: And he asked, this person said to me, "You should make it into a song in English." So I wrote English verses, and in each chorus it has "jaya kṛṣṇa, jaya kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa, jaya kṛṣṇa, jaya śrī kṛṣṇa; jaya rādhe, jaya rādhe, rādhe, jaya rādhe, jaya śrī rādhe." I don't know, did you . . . if you heard that song. It was on that "Extra Texture"—you know that one? "He who . . ." I wrote the English words. "He whose eyes have seen what our lives have been, and who we really are—it is He, jaya śrī kṛṣṇa." And then it has a chorus. "He whose sweetness flows to any one of those that cares to look His way, see His smile, jaya śrī rādhe," then the chorus again.
Mukunda: This is on George's new record.
George Harrison: No, it was last year. And "He who is complete, three worlds at His feet, cause of every star, it is He, jaya Śrī Kṛṣṇa." It's a nice song. But I took the old, the tune that we sang in Vṛndāvana, and just made slightly different, you know, with chords, chord patterns.
Prabhupāda: So in your next record, you can give this. (laughter)
