Conversation with George Harrison -- July 26, 1976, London:

Prabhupāda: Pradyumna, give him little, this one here.

George Harrison: Oh, no, no. Please, no more. I'm really full. I won't have to eat for a few days. (laughter)

Prabhupāda: Sweets.

George Harrison: Very well.

Prabhupāda: Sweet will help you digest. Don't give three—at least four.

George Harrison: I won't be able to eat much more.

Prabhupāda: Three is given to the enemy. According to our Indian system, if you give somebody three, that means he is enemy.

George Harrison: Oh, really? I always liked the number three.

Prabhupāda: (laughs) You must give at least four.

George Harrison: I like three, five, seven, nine. Those numbers.

Prabhupāda: Bring some fruit. What are the three enemies? Kama, krodha...

Pradyumna: Lobha.

Gurudāsa: Lust, anger, greed.

Prabhupāda: Three enemies-lusty desire, anger and greediness.

George Harrison: Yes. But there's a lot of nice threes.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Just like Brahma, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara. Three worlds, śaṅkha, martya, padma. Trinity. These are nice things.
