Bali Liberated, Prahlāda Blessed, and Vāmana Accepted as Universal Protector
मन्त्रतस्तन्त्रतश्छिद्रं देशकालार्हवस्तुत: । सर्वं करोति निश्छिद्रमनुसङ्कीर्तनं तव ॥ १६ ॥
mantratas tantrataś chidraṁ deśa-kālārha-vastutaḥ sarvaṁ karoti niśchidram anusaṅkīrtanaṁ tava
Maaaring may pagkukulang sa pagbigkas ng mantra, sa mga tuntunin ng ritwal, at sa oras, lugar, taong nagsasagawa, at mga gamit. Ngunit kapag inaawit at inuusal ang Iyong banal na Pangalan, nagiging walang kapintasan ang lahat.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has recommended:
This verse teaches that mistakes arising from mantra, ritual procedure, place, time, eligibility, or items used are made faultless by the Lord’s continuous glorification (anusankīrtana).
In his prayers to Vāmana, Bali acknowledges that devotion expressed through the Lord’s glorification surpasses technical shortcomings and completes the offering in a spiritually flawless way.
Even if your worship feels imperfect, prioritize sincere chanting and remembrance of the Lord; devotion-centered kīrtana helps purify and complete your practice.
