Lecture on SB 1.1.1 -- New York, July 6, 1972:

Prabhupāda: Come on. Hm. What is that?

Devotee: Sanskrit.

Prabhupāda: Bhāgavata? So from the very beginning, oṁ namo bhagavate, janmādy asya yataḥ (SB 1.1.1).

Pradyumna: (chants oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya and then the verse one word at a time with devotees and Śrīla Prabhupāda repeating until Śrīla Prabhupāda stops him at the word abhijñaḥ.)

Prabhupāda: (chants whole verse one word at a time with devotees repeating) Like that.

Devotee: (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Pradyumna: Janmādy asya yato 'nvayād... (SB 1.1.1).

Prabhupāda: No, first of all let them practice. (chants whole verse one word at a time with devotees repeating) Read like that.
