Room Conversation with Lord Brockway -- July 23, 1973, London:

Śyāmasundara: Maybe you could tell him about that Cāṇakya Paṇḍita.

Prabhupāda: (laughs) Yes. I think he'll not like that.

Śyāmasundara: There was one famous politician from India five hundred years ago, or...?

Prabhupāda: No, no, no. About three thousand years ago.

Śyāmasundara: Oh, three thousand years ago.

Lord Brockway: Three thousand years ago!

Śyāmasundara: He's written a book of...

Prabhupāda: During the time of Candragupta. Before Mohammedan or British rule. Long ago.

Śyāmasundara: He wrote a book of political wisdom, how to run on the state.

Prabhupāda: According to his opinion, viśvāso naiva... (someone knocks on the door) Yes? Come on. Viśvāso naiva kartavyaḥ strīṣu rāja-kuleṣu ca. He's giving warning that "Never trust woman and politician." (laughs)

Lord Brockway: A great deal of truth in that. (laughter) Well, Your Divine Grace, I must be going.

Prabhupāda: All right. Thank you for your coming here.

Lord Brockway: It has been a great privilege to meet you.

Prabhupāda: We enjoyed your company, talked very nicely. Sometimes you come with your wife.

Lord Brockway: I would have liked that.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Lord Brockway: But she didn't feel able to come tonight.

Prabhupāda: No, no. Any other day.

Śyāmasundara: Sunday afternoon or something.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Śyāmasundara: More time.

Lord Brockway: Don't trouble to get up.

Prabhupāda: No, no. I...

Lord Brockway: And thank you very much indeed. Thank you.

Prabhupāda: You're so kind. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya. Take him to the car. Go.

Lord Brockway: And good-bye, all. (end)
