Prabhupāda: That we shall consider later on. Dr. Patel: (laughs) 'Cause I'll not say now so that I will drive out my doubt about me. Prabhupāda: It is half-brāhmaṇa. Dr. Patel: No, that is all right. At least, little brāhmaṇa is good. Guest (2): It is vaidyic. All vaidyas are brāhmaṇas. Prabhupāda: Yes. No, vaidyas means father brāhmaṇa, mother śūdra. That is vaidya. Dr. Patel: They are sūtas.
