तानि सर्वाण्यवाप्नोति विष्णोर्नामानुकीर्तनात् । देवं शार्ङ्गधरं विष्णुं ये प्रपन्नाः परायणाः

Dengan melagukan dan menyebut nama-nama Viṣṇu, semua pahala dan berkat itu diperoleh. Mereka yang berlindung pada Dewa Viṣṇu, pemegang busur Śārṅga, serta menjadikan-Nya tujuan tertinggi, pasti meraihnya.

FAQs
The verse praises viṣṇu-nāma-anukīrtana—repeated chanting or glorification of Viṣṇu’s names—as a direct means to attain spiritual merits and blessings.
It links attainment to devotion expressed as nāma-kīrtana and to śaraṇāgati (taking refuge), portraying Viṣṇu as the devotee’s supreme goal (parāyaṇa).
The lesson is that sincere surrender and steady remembrance of the divine Name cultivate devotion and lead to the highest attainable fruits, rather than relying only on external accomplishments.
