My Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, in Your holy name
there is all good fortune for the living entity, antherefore You
have many names, such as Ka and Govinda, by which You expand
Yourself. You have investedall Your potencies in those names, and
there are no hard and fast rules for remembering them. My dear
Lordalthough You bestow such mercy upon the fallen, conditioned
souls by liberally teaching Your holy names, I am sunfortunate that
I commit offenses while chanting the holy name, and therefore I do
not achieve attachment fo
chanting. td api su-ncenataror iva sahiunamnin mna-denakrtanya
