Prabhupāda: Yes. In this universe only Brahmā has got four hands. Nobody within this universe. And Viṣṇu also. In this brahmāṇḍa, in this universe, there is a planet where the ocean is of milk. Here, just like salted water. There are many oceans—ocean of oil, ocean of ghee, ocean of milk.
The ocean of oil, you have got experience in this planet. Within the earth you are getting some . . . your civilization depending . . . your motorcar civilization is depending on that ocean of oil. You are getting oil and lavishly spending it. Stock is supplied by God. Your material advancement will be finished if the stock is not supplied by the Lord.
So these foolish men, they do not know. They think that, "Without God we can live." Who has created the ocean of petroleum within the earth? Is it possible for human being? (laughter)
Devotee: Someone has said that the dhotī, the dhotī that the brahmacārīs wear, is the dress that's worn in Vaikuṇṭha. Is that correct?
Prabhupāda: Just see Viṣṇu. He has no coat-pant. (chuckles) Here is Viṣṇu. Or Kṛṣṇa, He has no dress. He is also bare body. Only Rādhārāṇī is covered. In India also, still, the covering of the body is only for woman—but men, this, practically one dhotī is sufficient. Sometimes laṅgoṭa, the underwear. Laṅgoṭa, underwear. What is that? (pause)
Nanda-kiśora: Swāmī? What does Nanda-kiśora mean?
Prabhupāda: Nanda-kiśora, kiśora means a boy.
Nanda-kiśora: Boy?
Prabhupāda: The transcendental boy of Nanda Mahārāja.
Devotees: Oh!
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Madhusūdana: How is the lotus a weapon? They're all weapons. All the symbols in Viṣṇu's hand are . . . all the symbols in Viṣṇu's hand are weapons. How is the lotus a weapon?
Prabhupāda: Lotus is blessing. And that disc and club is for punishing. Viṣṇu has to see two ways, because He's the Lord. So, as it is said in the Bhagavad-gītā, paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām (BG 4.8).
Just like the state. State is meant for punishing the criminals and giving protection to the law-abiding citizen. Wherefrom this idea is taken? It is taken from Viṣṇu, everything, because He is the supreme maintainer. So everything is required for maintaining. So this gada, the club, and the disc is for punishing the disobedient, the demons, or those who are harassing devotees. To punish them, the viṣṇu-cakra is there.
