Prabhupāda: Pradyumna, give him little, this one here.
George Harrison: Oh, no, no. Please, no more. I’m really full. I won’t have to eat for a few days. [laughter]
Prabhupāda: Sweets.
George Harrison: Very well.
Prabhupāda: Sweet will help you digest. Don’t give three—at least four.
George Harrison: I won’t be able to eat much more.
Prabhupāda: Three is given to the enemy. According to our Indian system, if you give somebody three, that means he is enemy.
George Harrison: Oh, really? I always liked the number three.
Prabhupāda: [laughs] You must give at least four.
George Harrison: I like three, five, seven, nine. Those numbers.
Prabhupāda: Tri-śatru What are the three enemies? Kāma, krodha…
Pradyumna: Lobha.
Gurudāsa: Lust, anger, greed. Three enemies
Prabhupāda: Three enemies—lusty desire, anger and greediness.
George Harrison: Yes. But there’s a lot of nice threes.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Just like Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara. Three. Three worlds: Svarga, Martya, Pātāla. Trinity. These are nice things.
