What is this Abhiras? Abhira?

Conversations and Morning Walks

1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

Ābhīra, this dacoit class... Just like the queens of Dvāraka were plundered by the Ābhīra. That's why. There is no pasturing ground. Otherwise this cow would have been taken there. He would have eaten grass. That's all. What she will eat here in the town? Even Sumati Morarji's cows, they are not healthy.
Morning Walk -- November 16, 1975, Bombay:

Prabhupāda: Kirātuddhara.

Brahmānanda: Kirāta?

Prabhupāda: Uddhara.

Brahmānanda: Udha. Udha means?

Prabhupāda: Uddhara means deliverance.

Brahmānanda: Okay. "Delivering the kirātas." They might object to that. (laughing) They might object to that.

Prabhupāda: They might object?

Brahmānanda: The Africans, if they ask what is the meaning of that, they might object.

Prabhupāda: No, you can say kirāta means African. Actually that is the meaning. Kirāta-hūṇāndhra-pulinda-pulkhaśā ābhīra-śumbhā yavanāḥ khasādayaḥ ye 'nye ca pāpā...

Yaśomatīnandana: Yad-apāśrayāśrayāḥ.

Prabhupāda: Śuddhyanti.

Yaśomatīnandana: What is this Ābhīras? Ābhīra?

Prabhupāda: Ābhīra, this dacoit class.

Yaśomatīnandana: Dacoits.

Prabhupāda: Just like the queens of Dvāraka were plundered by the Ābhīra. That's why. There is no pasturing ground. Otherwise this cow would have been taken there. He would have eaten grass. That's all. What she will eat here in the town? Even Sumati Morarji's cows, they are not healthy. (Hindi) (pause) It appears to be so because in the evening the milk, whatever you give me, that appears to be powdered milk.

Brahmānanda: It was powdered milk?

Prabhupāda: It appears. Now it is confirmed.

Yaśomatīnandana: Maybe we should have our men stand there and milk and get directly from...

Prabhupāda: Everyone will say, "We should have," but who will have? There is no men. As soon as try to find out a man, there is no man. Simply we shall suggest, "We should have." That's all. And who is the man, that is not to be found, although we have got so many men. Why this deficiency? Everyone suggests that "There should have been a man," but who is that man? No man. As soon as try to find out who is that man, no man. Find out a man immediately. Not "should have." Immediately you must have. (break)
