Here is another one, in Sanskrit. Quote from SB 6.2.7p.:

 

avaen€pi yan-n€mni

k…rtite sarva-p€takaiƒ

pum€n vimucyate sadyaƒ

siˆha-trastair mgair iva

 

“If one chants the holy name of the Lord, even in a helpless condition or

without desiring to do so, all the reactions of his sinful life depart, just

as when a lion roars, all the small animals flee in fear.” (Garua Pur€Ša)

 

Hope this helps
