In a lecture (date unknown) on Srimad Bhagavatam (1.1.1), Ravindra Svarupa Prabhu compares Srila Prabhupada's 1962 purport with the edited purport. The edited version is full of mistakes in his opinion. His lack of diplomacy suggests the lecture was given before the book editing became a hot topic. He says:
"I want you to look at this because again you see where Prabhupada's original is superior to the edited version...."
"That's lost in editing for some reason....I don't know why they left all that out. I can't figure that out. Because it struck me as weird...."
"I just want you to notice in the original, that Prabhupada uses the phrase "big brain" or "best brain" all throughout this purport which the editors changed to intelligence, but actually Prabhupada uses it to some purpose here."
The above comments appear between 5 minutes 50 seconds and 9 minutes 20 seconds of the audio.
