JOURNAL:

In his lecture on this sloka (7-20-1973, London) Srila Prabhupada discusses how Sañjaya could see what was happening on the battlefield. I mentioned this to my Catholic friend and he pointed out a verse in the bible which reads, "... 'The Israelite prophet Elisha can tell the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.'" (2 Kings 6:12, N.A.B.)
