SB 1.1.14

apannah samsrtim ghoram
yan-nama vivaso grnan
tatah sadyo vimucyeta
yad bibheti svayam bhayam

 

apannah—being entangled; samsrtim—in the hurdle of birth and death; ghoram—too complicated; yat—what; nama—the absolute name; vivasah—unconsciously; grnan—chanting; tatah—from that; sadyah—at once; vimucyeta—gets freedom; yat—that which; bibheti—fears; svayam—personally; bhayam—fear itself.

 

Living beings who are entangled in the complicated meshes of birth and death can be freed immediately by even unconsciously chanting the holy name of Krsna, which is feared by fear personified.

SB 1.1.15

yat-pada-samsrayah suta
munayah prasamayanah
sadyah punanty upasprstah
svardhuny-apo 'nusevaya

 

yat—whose; pada—lotus feet; samsrayah—those who have taken shelter of; suta—O Suta Gosvami; munayah—great sages; prasamayanah—absorbed in devotion to the Supreme; sadyah—at once; punanti—sanctify; upasprstah—simply by association; svardhuni—of the sacred Ganges; apah—water; anusevaya—bringing into use.

 

O Suta, those great sages who have completely taken shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord can at once sanctify those who come in touch with them, whereas the waters of the Ganges can sanctify only after prolonged use.
