Rāmeśvara: This first sketch shows Śiva and Pārvatī are passing on the road. These women were bathing, and they are running to cover themselves. And this is the beginning of the fight between the women over the clothing, and Śukrācārya's daughter was thrown into a well.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: Then because of that, Yayāti was cursed, because later on, the woman that threw her into the well, he, she became like a mistress.
Prabhupāda: Yes. They were friends. Then they became rivals. Hm. So that's all right.
Rāmeśvara: Then this is the painting showing Śukrācārya and his daughter, and they're cursing Mahārāja Yayāti. What's happening here is that...
Prabhupāda: No, Śukrācārya's cloth is why long? So?
Rāmeśvara: Too long.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: Did you catch that?
Muralīdhara: It should be below the knees or...?
Prabhupāda: Hm? Yes. This is sannyāsī cloth. Should be shorter.
Rāmeśvara: Now, what's happening here is that his face is still very youthful, but his body is becoming very old like an old man's body. Gradually, his hands are old. The only thing left is his face and his neck.
Prabhupāda: No, no.
Rāmeśvara: It is like he's being transformed.
Prabhupāda: After cursing, the body was that, but not before.
Rāmeśvara: This is like artist's license. He has just cursed him, and now his body is changing. But we wanted to show it all at the same time so that they could get the idea.
Prabhupāda: That's all right(?).
Rāmeśvara: And they have shown this taking place in the courtyard, in a courtyard of Śukrācārya's residence.
Prabhupāda: This...
Rāmeśvara: But the question is... This cloth.
Prabhupāda: Cloth should be...
Rāmeśvara: Because he was the spiritual master, would he be living in a very opulent house?
Prabhupāda: Not necessarily.
Rāmeśvara: So is this too opulent?
Prabhupāda: No.
Rāmeśvara: They have arches and...
Prabhupāda: That's all right.
Rāmeśvara: Now, there is this other question about which hand... What was his question?
Parīkṣit: Would he be cursing with the right or left hand.
Rāmeśvara: What is the point?
Prabhupāda: Right or left hand, what problem?
Muralīdhara: When they curse someone, is there a certain...
Prabhupāda: No. Right hand is all right.
