In his wonderful book, _Nectarean Ocean of the Holy Name_ (Schona: Gayatri Publishers, 1999), H.H. Sacinandana Svami lists about 150 from various traditional sources. Here's one of them (Bhagavata 6.3.31), which appeared in the Ajamila narrative: tasmat sankirtanam visnor jagan-mangalam amhasam | mahatam api kauravyam viddhy aikantika-niskrtam || "My dear King, the chanting of the holy name of the Lord is able to uproot even the reactions of the greatest sins. Therefore the chanting of the sakrtana movement is the most auspicious activity in the entire universe. Please try to understand this so that others will take it seriously."
