### SB 6.2.14

> साङ्केत्यं पारिहास्यं वा स्तोभं हेलनमेव वा\
> वैकुण्ठनामग्रहणमशेषाघहरं विदुः ॥१४॥

> sāṅketyaṁ pārihāsyaṁ vā\
> stobhaṁ helanam eva vā\
> vaikuṇṭha-nāma-grahaṇam\
> aśeṣāgha-haraṁ viduḥ

*sāṅketyam*—as an assignation; *pārihāsyam*—jokingly; *vā*—or; *stobham*—as musical entertainment; *helanam*—neglectfully; *eva*—certainly; *vā*—or; *vaikuṇṭha*—of the Lord; *nāma-grahaṇam*—chanting the holy name; *aśeṣa*—unlimited; *agha-haram*—neutralizing the effect of sinful life; *viduḥ*—advanced transcendentalists know.

**One who chants the holy name of the Lord is immediately freed from the reactions of unlimited sins, even if he chants indirectly [to indicate something else], jokingly, for musical entertainment, or even neglectfully. This is accepted by all the learned scholars of the scriptures.**
