गोशकृन्माहात्म्य-प्रश्नः (On the Merit of Cow-Dung and the Abode of Śrī) / Inquiry into the Sanctity of Cow-Dung
एवं रात्रौ दिवा चापि समेषु विषमेषु च । महाभयेषु च नर: कीर्तयन् मुच्यते भयात्
evaṁ rātrau divā cāpi sameṣu viṣameṣu ca | mahābhayeṣu ca naraḥ kīrtayan mucyate bhayāt ||
இவ்வாறு இரவிலோ பகலிலோ, சாதகமோ பாதகமோ ஆகிய நிலைகளில், மிகப் பெரிய அச்சங்கள் நேர்ந்தாலும், கோமாதாவின் நாமத்தைப் புகழ்ந்து உரைப்பவன் அச்சத்திலிருந்து விடுபடுவான்.

Educational Q&A
Maintain unwavering devotional remembrance—specifically, praising/reciting the sacred name associated with Gomātā—regardless of time or circumstance; such steady kīrtana is taught to dissolve fear and stabilize one’s dharmic resolve.
Bhīṣma is instructing (as a teacher of dharma) that in all situations—night/day, ease/distress, and even extreme danger—a person who continues kīrtana attains release from fear, presenting devotion as a protective discipline.
