Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 5 - Chapter 1 - Verse 11


Sanskrit:

यन्नाम श्रुतमनुकीर्तयेदकस्मा-दार्तो वा यदि पतित: प्रलम्भनाद्वा ।हन्त्यंह: सपदि नृणामशेषमन्यंकं शेषाद्भ‍गवत आश्रयेन्मुमुक्षु: ॥ ११ ॥

ITRANS:

yan-nāma śrutam anukīrtayed akasmādārto vā yadi patitaḥ pralambhanād vāhanty aṁhaḥ sapadi nṛṇām aśeṣam anyaṁkaṁ śeṣād bhagavata āśrayen mumukṣuḥ

Translation:

Even if he be distressed or degraded, any person who chants the holy name of the Lord, having heard it from a bona fide spiritual master, is immediately purified. Even if he chants the Lord’s name jokingly or by chance, he and anyone who hears him are freed from all sins. Therefore how can anyone seeking disentanglement from the material clutches avoid chanting the name of Lord Śeṣa? Of whom else should one take shelter?
