पुनर्नारदः पप्रच्छpunarnāradaḥ papracchaNārada asked again; and again Nārada inquired; Nārada asked once more

भगवन्को ऽस्य विधिरितिbhagavan ko 'sya vidhiritiO lord, what are the rules for it?; what regulations [are needed] for this [chanting]?; O master, what is its prescribed order?

तं होवाचtaṃ hovāca[Brahmā] replied to him; he answered him; thus he said

नास्य विधिरितिnāsya vidhiritithere are no rules for it; no regulations whatever are required; there are no prescriptions

सर्वदा शुचिरशुचिर्वा पठन्sarvadā śuciraśucirvā paṭhanalways, pure or impure, one who recites [it]; whether in purity or impurity — he who repeats it; unceasingly, regardless of purity or impurity, one who chants

ब्राह्मणःbrāhmaṇaḥa brāhmaṇa; one who has realised Brahman; he who [thereby] becomes a brāhmaṇa

सलोकतां समीपताम्salokatāṃ samīpatāṃdwelling in the Lord's abode [sālokya] and nearness to Him [sāmīpya]; residence in His world and at His side; sharing His realm and His proximity

सरूपतां सायुज्यमेतिsarūpatāṃ sāyujyametiattains likeness of form [sārūpya] and union [sāyujya]; obtains a form like His own, and union with Him; gains sārūpya and sāyujya

यदास्य षोडशकस्यyadāsya ṣoḍaśakasyawhen this sixteen-word [mantra]; if only this mantra of sixteen [names]; when the sixteen names

सार्धत्रिकोटीर्जपतिsārdhatrikoṭīrjapatihe chants three and a half koṭi times; he utters it thirty-five million times; he recites it three and a half crore times

तदा ब्रह्महत्यां तरतिtadā brahmahatyāṃ taratithen he crosses beyond [the sin of] killing a brāhmaṇa; he is freed from the sin of brahma-hatyā; he steps over the guilt of a brāhmaṇa's slayer

तरति वीरहत्याम्tarati vīrahatyāmhe crosses beyond [the sin of] killing a hero; he is freed from the guilt of slaying a warrior; he steps over the sin of vīra-hatyā

स्वर्णस्तेयात्पूतो भवतिsvarṇasteyāt pūto bhavatihe becomes pure of [the sin of] stealing gold; he is cleansed of the theft of gold; he is freed from the taint of purloining gold

सर्वधर्मपरित्यागपापात्सद्यः शुचितामाप्नुयात्sarvadharmaparityāgapāpāt sadyaḥ śucitāmāpnuyātfrom the sin of abandoning all duties he at once attains purity; from the guilt of forsaking every dharma he is immediately cleansed; from the sin of giving up all prescribed works he becomes pure at once

सद्यो मुच्यते सद्यो मुच्यत इत्युपनिषत्sadyo mucyate sadyo mucyata ityupaniṣathe is liberated at once, liberated at once — such is the Upaniṣad; he obtains freedom instantly, instantly indeed — this is the essence of the Upaniṣad; he attains liberation immediately, truly at once — here the Upaniṣad ends

Traducción

Nārada asked again: "O lord, and what are the rules for this [mantra]?" He [Brahmā] answered: "There are no rules for it. Always — whether pure or impure — the brāhmaṇa who recites it attains the abode of the Lord, nearness to Him, likeness to His form and union with Him. Let a man but repeat this sixteen-word [mantra] three and a half koṭi times, and he crosses beyond [the sin of] killing a brāhmaṇa, crosses beyond [the sin of] killing a hero, is cleansed of the theft of gold, is cleansed of union with a fallen woman, is cleansed of harm done to the forefathers, the gods and men. From the sin of abandoning all duties he attains purity at once. He is liberated immediately, liberated immediately" — such is the Upaniṣad.

Comentario

The phrase "there are no rules for it" is the key one: the holy name demands no qualification of caste, purity or ritual preparation, such as almost every Vedic practice requires. This sets the path sharply apart from the other means described in the Vedas, and explains why precisely this brief Upaniṣad became a support for preaching the holy name as a method open to everyone in the age of Kali — an idea that Śrī Caitanya would later unfold in full. The list of sins (killing a brāhmaṇa, stealing gold, union with a fallen woman) is the catalogue of the gravest crimes in traditional law; the text asserts that even such defilement cannot stand before the utterance of the holy name. There is no magic here in the sense of a mechanical operation: the name purifies because it is not different from the Lord Himself — and contact with Him is liberation.
