All-Vaiṣṇava Gift
नामामृतं सत्यमिदं सुपुण्यमधीत्य यो मानव विष्णुभक्तः । प्रभातकाले नियतो महात्मा स याति मुक्तिं न हि कारणं च
nāmāmṛtaṃ satyamidaṃ supuṇyamadhītya yo mānava viṣṇubhaktaḥ | prabhātakāle niyato mahātmā sa yāti muktiṃ na hi kāraṇaṃ ca
Ce nectar du Nom est véridique et d’un très grand mérite. Celui qui l’étudie—dévot de Viṣṇu—discipliné et maître de soi à l’aurore, cette grande âme atteint la délivrance ; il n’y a aucun doute.
