sadyo vimukto bhagavan-nāma gṛhṇan
sadyo vimukto bhagavan-nāma gṛhṇan
Having given up all dharma, becoming the husband of a prostitute, degrading himself by the most condemned actions, having broken all vows, and in the process of being thrown to hell, he was immediately liberated on chanting the name of the Lord.
|| 6.2.46 ||
nātaḥ paraṁ karma-nibandha-kṛntanaṁ
mumukṣatāṁ tīrtha-padānukīrtanāt
na yat punaḥ karmasu sajjate mano
rajas-tamobhyāṁ kalilaṁ tato 'nyathā
There is no better way for those desiring liberation to cut the bondage of karma than chanting about the Lord, because by chanting, the mind does not again become attached to material actions. By other processes the mind again becomes contaminated by rajas and tamas.
From chanting (yat) the mind is not attached to material actions. Otherwise, by atonements, the mind becomes contaminated (kalilam).
|| 6.2.47-48 ||
ya etaṁ paramaṁ guhyam
itihāsam aghāpaham
śṛṇuyāc chraddhayā yukto
yaś ca bhaktyānukīrtayet
na vai sa narakaṁ yāti
nekṣito yama-kiṅkaraiḥ
yady apy amaṅgalo martyo
viṣṇu-loke mahīyate
The person who, with faith, hears this most confidential story which destroys sin, or who recites this story with devotion, does not go to hell and is not seen by the servants of Yama, even if he was sinful. Rather he goes to the abode of the Lord.
|| 6.2.49 ||
mriyamāṇo harer nāma
gṛṇan putropacāritam
ajāmilo 'py agād dhāma
kim uta śraddhayā gṛṇan
Ajāmila, by chanting the name of the Lord to indicate his son while dying, attained the abode of the Lord. What then will happen if one chants with faith?
Concluding the story, Śukadeva gives the conclusion about the glories of the name in one sentence, in order to give full understanding. He chanted without faith, since he was dying. What will happen if one chants with faith? He chanted while dying. What will happen if one chants while living? He chanted to indicate his son. What will happen if one chants to indicate the Lord? Ajāmila was most sinful. What will happen of a sinless person chants? These four conditions are mentioned.
Thus ends the commentary on the Second Chapter of the Sixth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
