श्रीमद्गोपालमन्त्रोऽयं नैव किञ्चिदपेक्षते ।
हृन्मात्रस्पृक्फलत्येव स्पृष्टो हि दहनो यथा ॥
śrīmad-gopāla-mantro’yaṁ naiva kiñcid apekṣate |
hṛn-mātra-spṛk phalaty eva spṛṣṭo hi dahano yathā ||
(Hari-bhakti-vilāsa: 17.260)
“This divine Gopāla-mantra does not depend on anything [i.e., any saṁskāra, such as the upanayana, or other means of purification, preparation, etc. (DDT: kiñcit saṁskārādikaṁ)]. Upon touching just the heart, it certainly produces results just as fire does upon being touched.”
