By the grace of the Name alone Lord Ýambhu (Ýiva) is immortal and, though endowed with inauspicious paraphernalia (such as a wreath of skulls), is yet a storehouse of blessings. Again, it is by the grace of the Name alone that Siddhas (adepts), sages and Yog¶s like Ýuka, Sanaka and others enjoy divine raptures, NŒrada realized the glory of the Name; that is why, while Ýr¶ Hari is beloved of the world (and Hara is dear to Ýr¶ Hari), he (NŒrada) is dear to Hari and Hara (Viƒ˜u and Ýiva) both. It was because of his repeating the Name that the Lord showered His grace on PrahlŒda, who thereby became the crest-jewel of devotees. Dhruva repeated the name of Ýr¶ Hari with a feeling of indignation (at the harsh treatment received from his step-mother) and thereby attained a fixed and incomparable station in the heavens. It is by remembering the holy Name that HanumŒn (son of the wind-god) holds Ýr¶ RŒma under His thumb. The vile AjŒmila and even the celebrated elephant and the harlot of the legend were liberated by the power of Ýr¶ Hari’s name. I have no words to depict the glory of the Name: not even RŒma can adequately glorify it. (1—4)
