Sanskrit Original
नैवंविध: पुरुषकार उरुक्रमस्यपुंसां तदङ्घ्रिरजसा जितषड्गुणानाम् । चित्रं विदूरविगत: सकृदाददीतयन्नामधेयमधुना स जहाति बन्धम् ॥ ३५ ॥
naivaṁ-vidhaḥ puruṣa-kāra urukramasya puṁsāṁ tad-aṅghri-rajasā jita-ṣaḍ-guṇānām citraṁ vidūra-vigataḥ sakṛd ādadīta yan-nāmadheyam adhunā sa jahāti bandham
My dear King, a devotee who has taken shelter of the dust from the lotus feet of the Lord can transcend the influence of the six material waves — namely hunger, thirst, lamentation, illusion, old age and death — and he can conquer the mind and five senses. However, this is not very wonderful for a pure devotee of the Lord because even a person beyond the jurisdiction of the four castes — in other words, an untouchable — is immediately relieved of bondage to material existence if he utters the holy name of the Lord even once.
