Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.

Sanskrit

यथागदं वीर्यतममुपयुक्तं यद‍ृच्छया । अजानतोऽप्यात्मगुणं कुर्यान्मन्त्रोऽप्युदाहृत: ॥ १९ ॥

Transliteration

yathāgadaṁ vīryatamam upayuktaṁ yadṛcchayā ajānato ’py ātma-guṇaṁ kuryān mantro ’py udāhṛtaḥ
Synonyms
yathā — just like; agadam — medicine; vīrya-tamam — very powerful; upayuktam — properly taken; yadṛcchayā — somehow or other; ajānataḥ — by a person without knowledge; api — even; ātma-guṇam — its own potency; kuryāt — manifests; mantraḥ — the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra; api — also; udāhṛtaḥ — chanted.

Translation

If a person unaware of the effective potency of a certain medicine takes that medicine or is forced to take it, it will act even without his knowledge because its potency does not depend on the patient’s understanding. Similarly, even though one does not know the value of chanting the holy name of the Lord, if one chants knowingly or unknowingly, the chanting will be very effective.
