The Glory of the Vāsudeva Hymn: Boons, Japa across the Yugas, and Ascent to Vaikuṇṭha
होमेषु यज्ञमध्ये च भावाज्जपति मानवः । तत्र विघ्ना न जायंते सर्वसिद्धिर्भविष्यति
homeṣu yajñamadhye ca bhāvājjapati mānavaḥ | tatra vighnā na jāyaṃte sarvasiddhirbhaviṣyati
Apabila seseorang, dengan bhāva-bhakti yang tulus, ber-japa ketika homa dan di tengah-tengah yajña, maka tiada halangan timbul di situ, dan segala siddhi akan tercapai dengan pasti.
Unspecified (narratorial/teaching voice within Bhūmi-khaṇḍa context)

Application: In any work (ritual or daily), add a brief, sincere remembrance/japa at the ‘center’ of the activity; prioritize intention and steadiness to reduce ‘vighnas’ (distractions, conflicts).
