the Supreme Person described by the Holy Name, and

the sound vibration of the Holy Name. We know that the second form is even more merciful than the first, because although a person may commit many offenses to Your first form, he will still plunge into an ocean of bliss by serving Your second with His voice.

O sun of the Holy Name, even the dim light of Your early dawn ' namabhasa ' devours the power of the darkness of the material world and gives those who are blind to the truth the insight to follow the path of pure devotion to Krishna. What learned person in this world can possibly fully describe Your transcendental glories?

O Holy Name, the Vedas declare that although meditation on impersonal Brahman cannot bring freedom from past karma, Your appearance [on the tongue of your chanter] at once makes all karma disappear.

O Holy Name, I pray that my love for You in Your many forms--such as Aghadamana (Crusher of Aghasura ), Yasodanandana (Son of Yasoda ), Nandasunu (Son of Nanda ), Kamalanayana (Lotus-eyed), Gopicandra (Moon of the gopis ), Vrndavanendra (King of Vrndavana ), Pranatakaruna (Merciful to the surrendered souls), and Krishna--may greatly increase.

O Holy Name, You are manifested in two forms:
sūditāśrita-janārti-rāśaye ramya-cid-ghana-sukha-svarūpiṇe
nāma gokula-mahotsavāya te kṛṣṇa pūrṇa-vapuṣe namo namah ̣
O perfect and complete Holy Name of Lord Krishna, You are the embodiment of delightful and intense spiritual bliss, You destroy the many sufferings of those who take shelter of You, and You are a festival of happiness for Gokula. I bow before You again and again.

O Krishna- nama! O inspiration of Narada's vina! You are full of sweetness, which is like an ocean full of waves of nectar. If You wish, please appear constantly on my tongue, along with transcendental affection for the Lord.
