7) It should be heard again and again with one's ears; It should be uttered over and over with one's voice; It should be perpetually sung and sung anew - The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
8) It makes the entire universe seem insignificant as a blade of grass; it splendorously reigns supreme over all; it is full of eternally conscious divine ecstasy; it is supremely pure - The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
Your servant, Devaki dd
