THE STORY OF AJAMILA
 
अज्ञानादथवा ज्ञानादुत्तमश्लोकनाम यत् ।

सङ्कीर्तितमधंघं पुंसो दहेदेधो यथाऽनलः ॥

यथाऽगदं वीर्यतममुपयुक्तं यदृच्छया ।

अजानतोऽप्यात्मगुणं कुर्यान्मन्त्रोऽप्युदाहृतः ॥
 
GL
 

"The name of God uttered consciously

or unconciously will burn away the sin

of man, even as fire would burn fuel.

Like very effective medicine taken in

accidentally, a Mantra uttered does its

good even to him who knows not its effect.

पतिं वः पृच्छत भटा धर्मेऽस्मिन्यदि संशयः ।

स वेद परमं गुह्यं धर्मस्य भगवान्यमः ॥'
 

"Servants (of Yama) ! if you have any

doubt in this Dharma, ask of your Master.

He, Lord Yama, knows the greatest

secrets of Dharma."
 

 
इति प्रत्युदिता याम्या दूता याता यमान्तिकम् ॥
 

Thus spoken to, the messengers of

Yama went to Yama's presence.
 

 
द्विजः पाशाद्विनिर्मुक्तो गतभीः प्रकृतिं गतः ।

भक्तिमान्भगवत्याशु माहात्म्यश्रवणाद्धरेः ॥
