Dasakam 22 The sermon of Ajamila

(Ajamila was born as Brahmin but became a sinner. At the time of death, he called his son “Narayana, Narayana.”. The agents of Vishnu took him to heaven by arguing with Yama’s soldiers that he is purified by this act.)

Oh lord , long ago there lived a virtuous householder Brahmin called Ajamila,
Who obeying the words of his father went to the forest and there he met,
An undesirable characterless woman who was drunk with exuberance. 22.1

Though he was having a peaceful nature being attracted by that loose woman,
He forsook his duties, enjoyed life with her leading to the life of Adharma,
And when he was in the grip of old age, he became attached,
To his son who was called “Narayana”, which is your name. 22.2

Dasakam: 022 -- Shlokam: 03

Due to the fact that he was once upon a time , remembering your name,
He called his darling son by his name “Oh Narayana”. 22.3

Though he was a sinner and a man with very bad undesirable character,
As soon as your divine name came out of his mouth,
Your messengers having four hands and wearing yellow silk,
Came in between him and the messengers of Yama, the god of death,
Due to the power of your name being called out by him. 22.4 

 Dasakam: 022 -- Shlokam: 05
अमुं च संपाश्य विकर्षतो भटान्

These attendants of yours stopped Yama’s messengers, who had tied him with a rope,
And were dragging him towards hell by shouting “Please release him”,

Oh God your attendants asked the messengers of God of death,
“ Oh learned people , sins are there, but if they do atonement for them,
Would punishment be there then also? Is it possible that people like you,
Are not aware of atonement for sins? “ 22.6 

Dasakam: 022 -- Shlokam: 07

श्रुतिस्मृतिभ्यां विहिता व्रतादय:

Oh God your attendants asked the messengers of God of death,
“ The atonement told in Vedas like Kruchra and Chaandrayanam,,
Would destroy sins committed before the said atonement,
But the propensity for doing more sins is not destroyed by them,
And the service to God destroy both sins and propensity to do them.” 22.7 

Dasakam: 022 -- Shlokam: 08

अनेन भो जन्मसहस्रकोटिभि:

“Oh servants of Yama, he has already performed atonement,
For all the sins he has committed in the last one thousand crore births,
For he with great fear has sung the name of our Lord”. 22.8

Dasakam: 022 -- Shlokam: 09

 नृणामबुद्ध्यापि मुकुन्दकीर्तनं

Oh God your attendants asked the messengers of God of death,
“Even if a sin is done without knowledge or realization,
The singing of the name Of Hari burns the collection of sins,
Like a fire burning firewood and medicine curing diseases,
For the recitation of the name is that greatly powerful.” 22.9

Dasakam: 022 -- Shlokam: 10

इतीरितैर्याम्यभटैरपासृते

And was taken to Vaikunta by your soldiers. 22.10
