Hari Sauri: Ramesvara Swami and Radhaballabha delivered the latest volume of Srimad-Bhagavatam, the second part of the Seventh Canto, to Srila Prabhupada in mid-afternoon. Srila Prabhupada was beaming with pleasure. He carefully inspected it, looking through the many beautiful paintings that depict the killing of the demon Hiranyakasipu by Lord Nrisimha-deva.
Prabhupada was laughing as he described the fight. "'All right, let me see how your strength is coming. Now I shall kill you, come on. Let me see how your God is coming to save you.' This is atheism, challenging. And when He appeared, Hiranyakasipu became a fly in front of... Eh? Where is such language? Even there are many Sanskrit scholars now, they cannot produce such language. That is not possible. And five thousand years before, Vyasadeva presented this unique language."
Ramesvara informed him that it was the twentieth volume of Srimad-Bhagavatam now in print.
"Out of sixty. Still forty," Prabhupada said. "Twenty already printed, and two or three ready for being printed."
