TRANSLATION

If one chants the exalted holy name of the Lord again and again and yet his love
for the Supreme Lord does not develop and tears do not appear in his eyes, it is
evident that because of his offenses in chanting, the seed of the holy name of Krsna
does not sprout.

PURPORT

If one chants the Hare Krsna mantra offensively, one does not achieve the desired
result. Therefore one should carefully avoid the offenses which have already been
described in connection with verse 24.

caitanya-nityanande nahi esaba vicara
nama laite prema dena, bahe asrudhara

SYNONYMS

caitanya-nityanande—when chanting the holy names of Lord Caitanya and
Nityananda; nahi—there are not; esaba—all these; vicara—considerations; nama—the
holy name; /aite—simply by chanting; prema—love of Godhead; dena—they give;
bahe—there is a flow; asru-dhara—tears in the eyes.

TRANSLATION

But if one only chants, with some slight faith, the holy names of Lord Caitanya
and Nityananda, very quickly he is cleansed of all offenses. Thus as soon as he chants
the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, he feels the ecstasy of love for God.
