nÄma-saá¹…kÄ«rtanaá¹ yasya
sarva-pÄpa praṇÄÅ›anam
praṇÄmo duḥkha-Å›amanas
taá¹ namÄmi hariá¹ param
nÄma-saá¹…kÄ«rtanam - the congregational chanting of the holy name; yasya - of whom; sarva-pÄpa - all sins; praṇÄÅ›anam - which destroys; praṇÄmaḥ - the bowing down; duḥkha - misery; Å›amanaḥ - which subdues; tam - to Him; namÄmi - I offer my obeisances; harim - to Lord Hari; param - the Supreme.
I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Lord, Hari, the congregational chanting of whose holy names destroys all sinful reactions, and the offering of obeisances unto whom relieves all material suffering.
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupÄda to the Twelfth Canto, Thirteenth Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “The Glories of ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam.â€
The Twelfth Canto was completed at Gainesville, Florida, on Sunday, July 18, 1982.
END OF THE TWELFTH CANTO
We offer our most respectful obeisances at the lotus feet of His Divine Grace Oá¹ ViṣṇupÄda Paramahaá¹sa ParivrÄjakÄcÄrya Aá¹£á¹ottara-Å›ata ÅšrÄ« ÅšrÄ«mad Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupÄda and, by his mercy, to the Six GosvÄmÄ«s of Vá¹›ndÄvana, to Lord Caitanya and His eternal associates, to ÅšrÄ« ÅšrÄ« RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa and to the supreme transcendental literature, ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam. By the causeless mercy of ÅšrÄ«la PrabhupÄda we have been able to approach the lotus feet of ÅšrÄ«la BhaktisiddhÄnta SarasvatÄ« ṬhÄkura, ÅšrÄ«la JÄ«va GosvÄmÄ«, ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« ṬhÄkura, ÅšrÄ«la ÅšrÄ«dhara SvÄmÄ«, and other great Vaiṣṇava ÄcÄryas, and by carefully studying their liberated commentaries we have humbly tried to complete the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam. We are the insignificant servants of our spiritual master, ÅšrÄ«la PrabhupÄda, and by his mercy we have been allowed to serve him through the presentation of ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam.
