सा हानिस्तन्महच्छिद्रं स मोहः स च विभ्रमः ।
यन्मुहूर्तं क्षणं वापि वासुदेवं न कीर्तयेत् ॥
sā hānis tan mahac chidraṁ sa mohaḥ sa ca vibhramaḥ |
yan muhūrtaṁ kṣaṇaṁ vāpi vāsudevaṁ na kīrtayet ||
(Kātyāyana Saṁhitā; cited in Hari-bhakti-vilāsa: 11.508; Bhakti Sandarbha: 115; Sarva-samvādinī on Bhagavat Sandarbha, Durgama-saṅgaminī to Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu: 1.2.247; Krama-sandarbha-ṭīkā on Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: 2.9.35)
“That moment or even instant in which Vāsudeva is not praised is a loss, a great fault, a delusion, and a fiasco.”
Commentary
Sanātana Gosvāmī comments that “loss” (hāniḥ) means ruination of the puruṣārthas (puruṣārtha-kṣayaḥ), “great fault” (mahac chidram) means an obstacle to the completion of one’s duty (karma-sāṅgatāyā antarāyo vā), “delusion” (mohaḥ) means ignorance (ajñānam), and “fiasco” (vibhramaḥ) means a severe mistake, that is, [tantamount to] wandering in saṁsāra or death (bhrānti-viśeṣaḥ, saṁsāra-bhramaṇaṁ maraṇaṁ vā).
