Prabhupāda: There are so many purports you can. (professor reads one purport in French)
Bhūgarbha: That one was all right. (laughter)
Professor Chenique: I was, up to recent time, I was commenting Bhagavad-gītā in the camping. For eleven years every summer I am commenting the Gītā in the camping. I commend very warmly this edition of the Bhagavad-gītā. I think it's the best that you may find in France. But when I'm reading the commentary for my students, I find some sentences which are not good French. I think because it is not a very good style, and I hope it won't be that matter with... (French)
Bhūgarbha: Perhaps Professor Chenique could go over our translations and make any suggestions.
Prabhupāda: I have no objection.
Yogeśvara: Professor Chenique is offering to re-read our publications. To read them and when he sees something he thinks can be corrected, he will make some indication.
Prabhupāda: I have no objection. It is welcome.
Yogeśvara: (devotee enters) This is Hayeśvara. Hayeśvara dāsa, in charge of the Dutch publications, Dutch translator. He has done the Bhagavad-gītā, this edition, in Dutch.
Prabhupāda: Jaya. Thank you very much.
Bhūgarbha: This is the Dutch translation. Professor Chenique made the comment...
Prabhupāda: The idea is, suppose I am in France. I do not know French language, but there is fire in my room, and I have to call my neighbors. So somehow or other I call and take their help. (laughter)
Yogeśvara: Professor Chenique wishes to know whether we cannot do one very small pocketbook edition that will sell very inexpensively. Something like I think in India they have done.
Hari-śauri: Like the abridged version in America they did?
Yogeśvara: No, something like this, very small.
Prabhupāda: I have no objection. It is nice proposal.
Hari-śauri: Like that Chinese one? First six chapters.
Prabhupāda: Where is that Chinese?
Bhūgarbha: He feels that if we bring out a very small, compact edition, it will sell very nicely.
Prabhupāda: First of all, we printed seven hundred copies. And now we are going to print five thousand.
Bhūgarbha: He said we're making the highest record in distribution.
Professor Chenique: Oh, yes, for this kind of book.
