gross and subtle ingredients interact. He appears in various incarnations
just to please the hearts of His pure devotees.” For example. the
Supreme Lord appeared in the transcendental incarnation of Lord
Vardha (the boar) just to please His devotees by lifting the planet earth
from the Garbhodaka Ocean.

TRANSLATION
Even if he be distressed or degraded, any person who chants the

holy name of the Lord, having heard it from a bona fide spiritual
master, is immediately purified. Even if he chants the Lord’s name
jokingly or by chance, he and anyone who hears him are freed
from all sins. Therefore how can anyone seeking disentanglement
from the material clutches avoid chanting the name of Lord Sesa?
Of whom else should one take shelter?
