A class on Srimad Bhagavatam 1.15.21 given by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on December 1, 1973 in Los Angeles, CA. Srimad Bhagavatam 1.15.21 tad vai dhanus ta iṣavaḥ sa ratho hayās te  so ’haṁ rathī nṛpatayo yata ānamanti sarvaṁ kṣaṇena tad abhūd asad īśa-riktaṁ  bhasman hutaṁ kuhaka-rāddham ivoptam ūṣyām I have the very same Gāṇḍīva bow, the same arrows, the same chariot drawn by the same horses, and I use them as the same Arjuna to whom all the kings offered their due respects. But in the absence of Lord Kṛṣṇa, all of them, at a moment’s notice, have become null and void. It is exactly like offering clarified butter on ashes, accumulating money with a magic wand or sowing seeds on barren land.
