Prabhupāda: Yes. Every, all world was emperor, the Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira and the family. Sa-sāgara. Sa-sāgara means "including all the oceans." That means the whole world. There was one flag only during the time of Mahārāja Parīkṣit. And he first saw the cow-killing maybe in Africa or in Arabia. One black man was trying to kill a cow, and Mahārāja Parīkṣit was on tour, and immediately he punished him. That is Kali. The black man means Africa. Or where other place, black men?
Paramahaṁsa: Some of the . . . there are some natives in Asia also, southeast Asia, that are black.
Prabhupāda: Arabia? No. Arabians are not black.
Paramahaṁsa: Not . . . generally they're not so black. Indonesians are black.
Prabhupāda: No.
Śrutakīrti: Africa is about the only place, other than some islands.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Africa is black.
Amogha: Aborigines here also.
Paramahaṁsa: They have black natives here also, Australia.
Prabhupāda: They are all descendant of the same.
Amogha: Did the Greek civilization follow the Vedic culture?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. They were worshiping demigods from the Vedas.
Paramahaṁsa: But they didn't have a very high standard.
Prabhupāda: These, these Vedic mantra, there is mention of so many demigods, how they were born. You do not know the meaning.

Prabhupāda: How, one after another, how one is born out of the . . . that is . . . how the brāhmaṇas were there, kṣatriyas were there—everything in Vedic . . . these Vedic mantra means the history of human society. And the origin is God, Kṛṣṇa, Nārāyaṇa. There are other mantras wherein it is stated, eko nārāyaṇa āsīt: "Only Nārāyaṇa was there." Neither Lord Śiva nor Brahmā. Later on, they came. When he first cites the mantra, vande mahā-puruṣa te caraṇāravindam, śiva-viriñci-nutam (SB 11.5.33), Śiva means Lord Śiva, and viriñci means Brahmā. All of them offer respect to Nārāyaṇa. Indian astrology was taken by the Arabians first. The 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, these figures were taken from India, up to 9, then 0. Then you make all mathematical, arithmetical calculation.
