Motorcarpura

[Guest guest]

There... In India, there is a place near Patna where up to ten years before,

it was a market, yearly market, for selling cows, horses, elephants, camels,

like that. Now there is no customer. At the present moment, that fair of

selling big, big horses and... Nobody can purchase horse. They have got this

tin car. That also not everyone. So people have become poor. Nobody can

maintain now horses or elephants or number of cows. No. That is not

possible. So they are condemned now. Formerly they were maintaining. Instead

of keeping a big car, they used to keep two, three elephants, number of

horses, number of cows. This is domestic animals. They are domestic animals.

They used to be maintained. But nowadays they cannot. But during Mahäräja

Yudhiñöhira's time or before that, the city was so full of elephants that it

is named after elephant, Hastinäpura: "Many elephants." Still in India, in

big procession, marriage ceremony, they bring some elephants. But that is in

procession, elephants, horses, are demonstrated. And especially royal

family. But those things have now gone. Now, instead of Hastinäpura, it is

now "Motorcarpura." (laughter)
