vaci gatam prasaṅgad vaṅ-madhye pravrttam api, smarana-patha-gatam kathancin
manah-sprstam api, srotra-mulam gatam kincit srutam api; suddha-varnam va asuddha- varnam api va; 'vyavahitam' sabdantarena yad-vyavadhanam vaksyamana-narayana-sabdasya kincid uccarananantaram prasaṅgad apatitam sabdantaram tena rahitam sat. This means that if one somehow or other hears, utters or remembers the holy name, or if it catches his mind while coming near his ears, that holy name, even if vibrated in separate words, will act. An example of such separation is given as follows:
yadva, yadyapi 'halam riktam' ity ady-uktau hakara-rikarayor vrttya hariti-namasty eva,
tatha 'raja-mahisi' ity atra rama-namapi, evam anyad apy uhyam, tathapi tat-tan-nama- madhye vyavadhayakam aksarantaram astity etadrsa-vyavadhana-rahitam ity arthah; yadva, vyavahitam ca tad-rahitam capi va; tatra 'vyavahitam'-namnah kincid uccarananantaram kathancid apatitam sabdantaram samadhaya pascan namavasistaksara-grahanam ity evam rupam, madhye sabdantarenantaritam ity arthah, 'rahitam' pascad avasistaksara- grahana-varjitam, kenacid amsena hinam ity arthah, tathapi tarayaty eva. Suppose one is using the two words "halam riktam." Now the syllable ha in the word "halam" and the syllable ri in "riktam" are separately pronounced, but nevertheless it will act because one somehow or other utters the word "hari." Similarly, in the word "raja-mahisi," the syllables ra and ma appear in two separate words, but because they somehow or other appear together, the holy name rama will act, provided there are no offenses.
sarvebhyah papebhyo 'paradhebhyas ca samsarad apy uddharayaty eveti satyam eva;
kintu nama-sevanasya mukhyam yat phalam, tan na sadyah sampadyate. tatha deha- bharanady-artham api nama-sevanena mukhyam phalam asu na sidhyatity aha-tac ced iti. The holy name has so much spiritual potency that it can deliver one from all sinful reactions and material entanglements, but utterance of the holy name will not be very soon fruitful if done to facilitate sinning.
tan nama ced yadi dehadi-madhye niksiptam-deha-bharanady-artham eva
vinyastam, tadapi phala-janakam na bhavati kim? api tu bhavaty eva, kintu atra iha loke sighram na bhavati, kintu vilambenaiva bhavatity arthah. The holy name is so powerful that it must act, but when one utters the holy name with offenses, its action will be delayed, not immediate, although in favorable circumstances the holy names of the Lord act very quickly.
