śrīmannāma prōcya nārāyaṇākhyaṃ

🔑 Word-to-Word Meaning

🌿 śrīman-nāma — the glorious, auspicious holy name
🌿 prōcya — when spoken or uttered
🌿 nārāyaṇa-ākhyam — the name known as Nārāyaṇa

🌼 Line Meaning

The glorious holy name called Nārāyaṇa, when it is spoken or chanted.

🌟 Detailed Explanation

The verse begins by glorifying the holy name of the Lord. The name Nārāyaṇa is not an ordinary sound. It is completely spiritual and identical with the Supreme Lord. Because the Lord and His name are non-different, when a person chants the name, he directly associates with the Lord.

The holy name carries within it all the divine qualities, mercy, and power of the Lord. Therefore, even a simple utterance of the name can have tremendous spiritual effect.

Just like fire gives heat and light automatically, the holy name naturally gives purification and spiritual benefit simply by being pronounced.

kē na prāpur vāñchitaṃ pāpinō’pi

🔑 Word-to-Word Meaning

🌿 kē — who
🌿 na — not
🌿 prāpuḥ — obtained or achieved
🌿 vāñchitam — the desired goal
🌿 pāpinah api — even sinful persons

🌼 Line Meaning

Who has not achieved their desired goal by chanting it — even sinful people?

🌟 Detailed Explanation

This line emphasizes the extraordinary mercy of the holy name. The power of the name does not depend on the qualification of the person chanting.

Even those who are sinful or spiritually weak can receive benefit from chanting the holy name. The holy name is compared to the sun. The sun shines on everyone without discrimination — saintly people and sinful people alike.

Similarly, the holy name bestows purification and blessings upon anyone who chants it. Therefore the verse asks a rhetorical question: Who has not obtained their desired benefit by chanting the name of Nārāyaṇa?

hā naḥ pūrvaṃ vākpravṛttā na tasmin

🔑 Word-to-Word Meaning

🌿 hā — alas!
🌿 naḥ — we / our
🌿 pūrvam — previously or earlier
🌿 vāk-pravṛttā — our speech engaged
🌿 na tasmin — was not engaged in that (holy name)

🌼 Line Meaning

Alas! Previously our speech was not engaged in chanting that holy name.

🌟 Detailed Explanation

Here the speaker expresses deep regret. Knowing now the immense power of the holy name, he laments that earlier in life he did not use his speech to chant it.

Human life gives us many opportunities — especially the ability to speak and chant the names of God. If that valuable opportunity is not used for chanting, it becomes a lost chance.

The lamentation arises from realizing that the simple act of chanting could have brought spiritual benefit much earlier.

tēna prāptaṃ garbhavāsādi duḥkham

🔑 Word-to-Word Meaning

🌿 tēna — therefore / because of that
🌿 prāptam — obtained / experienced
🌿 garbha-vāsa-ādi — dwelling in the womb and similar conditions
🌿 duḥkham — suffering or misery

🌼 Line Meaning

Because of that, we had to experience the suffering of repeated birth, including life in the womb.

🌟 Detailed Explanation

Due to not chanting the holy name earlier, the living being continues to remain bound in the cycle of birth and death.

One of the first sufferings in this cycle is life in the womb. Scriptures describe that the living entity experiences great discomfort and helplessness there. After birth also, life continues with many miseries such as disease, old age, and death.

If one takes shelter of the holy name, these repeated sufferings can gradually come to an end. The verse therefore highlights the loss that occurs when one neglects chanting.
