easily; nyasinam—of those in the renounced order of life; iyat—can ob-

TRANSLATION

The process of chanting the holy name of the Lord is so power-
ful that by this chanting even householders [grhasthas] can very
easily gain the ultimate result achieved by persons in the
renounced order. Maharaja Yudhisthira, I have now explained to
you that process of religion.

PURPORT

This is a confirmation of the Krsna consciousness movement. Anyone
who takes part in this movement, regardless of what he is, can gain the
topmost result achieved by a perfect sannydsi, namely brahma-jnana
(spiritual knowledge). Even more important, he can advance in devo-
tional service. Maharaja Yudhisthira thought that because he was a
grhastha there was no hope of his being liberated, and therefore he
asked Narada Muni how he could get out of material entanglement. But
Narada Muni, citing a practical example from his own life, established
that by associating with devotees and chanting the Hare Krsna mantra,
any man in any condition of life can achieve the highest perfection with-
out a doubt.
