Word breakdown
- लपन्नच्युतानन्त गोविन्द विष्णो
- Uttering 'Achyuta, Ananta, Govinda, Vishnu,
- मुरारे हरे नाथ नारायणेति
- Murari, Hari, Lord, Narayana' thus,
- यथानुस्मरिष्यामि भक्त्या भवन्तं
- as I shall remember You with devotion,
- तथा मे दयाशील देव प्रसीद
- so be gracious to me, O merciful God.
The prayer that divine names be on the tongue at death is prayer that consciousness rest in the Lord when form falls away. Each name points to the one imperishable reality that devotion prepares the mind to recognize as the Self.
