TRANSLATION

Ajamila was a brahmana who because of bad association had
given up all brahminical culture and religious principles. Becom-
ing most fallen, he stole, drank and performed other abominable
acts. He even kept a prostitute. Thus he was destined to be carried
away to hell by the order carriers of Yamaraja, but he was im-
mediately rescued simply by a glimpse of the chanting of the holy
name Narayana.
