What happens in this chapter
Devotees saved and raised by the name
By the name's grace Shambhu is imperishable and, though his trappings are inauspicious, a heap of blessings. Through it Shuka, the Sanaka brothers and the yogis enjoy Brahman's bliss. Narada knew its power. Chanting it, Prahlada became the crown of devotees. Dhruva, stung by a slight, chanted Hari's name and won an unmoving place. Remembering it, Hanuman keeps Rama under his control. Ajamila, the elephant and the courtesan were freed by Hari's name. How far can its greatness be told, when Rama himself cannot sing all its virtues? The doha: Rama's name is a wishing tree in Kali, by whose remembrance a weed like bhang became the holy tulsi, Tulsidas.
नारद जानेउ नाम प्रतापू । जग-प्रिय-हरि हरि-हर-प्रिय आपू ॥
नाम जपत प्रभु कीन्ह प्रसादू । भगत-सिरोमनि भे प्रहलादू ॥
nārada jāneu nāma pratāpū | jaga-priya-hari hari-hara-priya āpū ||
nāma japata prabhu kīnha prasādū | bhagata-siromani bhe prahalādū ||
ध्रुवँ सगलानि जपेउ हरि-नाऊँ । पायउ अचल अनूपम ठाऊँ ॥
सुमिरि पवन-सुत पावन नामू । अपने बस करि राखे रामू ॥
dhruvam̐ sagalāni japeu hari-nāūm̐ | pāyau acala anūpama ṭhāūm̐ ||
sumiri pavana-suta pāvana nāmū | apane basa kari rākhe rāmū ||
अपत अजामिल गज गनिकाऊ । भये मुकुत हरि नाम प्रभाऊ ॥
कहउँ कहाँ लगि नाम बड़ाई । राम न सकहिं नाम-गुन गाई ॥
apata ajāmila gaja ganikāū | bhaye mukuta hari nāma prabhāū ||
kahaum̐ kahām̐ lagi nāma bar̤āī | rāma na sakahiṃ nāma-guna gāī ||
नाम राम को कल्पतरु, कलि कल्यान-निवास ।
जो सुमिरत भयो भाँग तें, तुलसी तुलसीदास ॥
nāma rāma ko kalpataru, kali kalyāna-nivāsa |
jo sumirata bhayo bhām̐ga teṃ, tulasī tulasīdāsa ||
