The Result of Hearing

yaù paöhet paöhayed väpi
     çåëuyät çrävayéta vä
kià phalaà labhate devi
     vaktuà nästi mama priye

     What result does one attain who reads, makes someone else read, hears, or makes someone else hear these names? O goddess, O beloved, I do not have the power to say.

Texts 2 and 3

dvädaçyäà paurëamäsyäà vä
     saptamyäà ravi-väsare
pakña-dvaye ca sampräpya
     hari-väsaraà eva ca

ya paöhet çåëuyäd väpi

     satyaà satyaà na saàçayaù

     A person who on Dvädaçi, the full-moon day, Saptamé, Sunday, the two Pakñas, or on Ekädaçé reads or hears these names does not take birth again. O goddess, this is the truth. It is the truth. It is the truth. It is the truth. Do not doubt it.

     sevyä bhaktir hare çubhä
çrutvä näma-sahasräëi
     naro mucyeta pätakät

     A person who on Ekädaçi becomes clean, engages in auspicious service to Lord Hari, and hears these thousand names, is rescued from hell.

vaiñëavebhyaù paraà nästi
     präëebhyo 'pi priyä mama

     O daughter of the king of mountains, a host of liberations is not greater than devotion to Lord Hari. No one is greater than the Vaiñëavas. To Me they are more dear than life.

Texts 7 and 8

vaiñëaveñu ca saìgo me
     sadä bhavatu sundari
yasya vaàçe kvacid daiväd
     vaiñëavo räga-varjitaù

bhavanti nirmaläs te hi
     yänti nirväëatäà hare

     O beautiful one, I pray that I may always have the Vaiñëavas' association. In a family where a renounced Vaiñëava takes birth all the ancestors become purified. They attain liberation in the world of Lord Hari.

bahunä kià ihoktena
     vaiñëavänäà tu darçanät
nirmaläù päpa-rahitäù
     päpinaù syur na saàçayaù

     What more can I say? By seeing a Vaiñëava, the sinful become pure and sinless. Of this there is no doubt.

     O goddess, please hear all of these thousand names. O beloved, when these thousand names of Lord Bäla-Kåñëa are heard the sin of killing a brähmaëa, and all other sins as well, perish. In Kali-yuga Bäla-Kåñëa is the Deity. In Kali-yuga Våndävana is the forest.

Text 15

kalau gaìgä mukti-dätré
     kalau gétä parä gatiù
nästi yajïädi karyäëi 
     harer nämaiva kevalam
kalau vimuktaye nåëäà
     nästy eva gatir anyathä 

     In Kali-yuga the Gaìgä is the giver of liberation. In Kali-yuga the Gitä is the supreme song. The Vedic sacrifices are not to be performed. In Kali-yuga only the chanting of Lord Hari's holy name gives liberation. There is no other way.
