Srila Rupa Gosvami's Sri Padyavali Text 17

[Guest guest]

Some translated verses are hard to read or understand

when written in the ITRANS script. So I have decided

to include a phonetic translation whenever the need

arises.

“Extracting the four syllables that are the heart of

the four vedas, lord hari makes the word .anArAyaNa.a.

Day and night chanting this name, we become purified.

We do not know any other better way to please lord

hari.” - Author unknown

 

PHONETIC TRANSLATION:

 

"Extracting the four syllables that are at the heart

of the four Vedas, Lord Hari makes the word

'Narayana.' Day and night chanting this name,

we become purified. We do not know any other better

way to please Lord Hari." - Author unknown.

 

In this way, here is the phonetic translation for a

previous difficult verse:

"The words 'Krsna Krsna' are sufficient to purify the

people's sins. If they have blissful service to Lord

Mukunda, then the goddess of liberation bows before

their lotus feet.” - Sri Sarvajna
