O best of conchshells, O Pāñcajanya in the hands of the Lord, you are always filled with the breath of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Therefore you create a fearful sound vibration that causes trembling in the hearts of enemies like the Rākṣasas, pramatha ghosts, Pretas, Mātās, Piśācas and brāhmaṇa ghosts with fearful eyes.
Gauḍīya Ācāryas
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
O conch! Filled with air by Kṛṣṇa and sounding fearsome, you cause the hearts of the enemy to tremble. Drive away the Yātudhānas, Pramathas, Pretas, Māṭrs, Piśācas, and terrifying brāhmaṇa ghosts. Darendra means O Pāñcajanya!
Personal Guidance
O Pāñcajanya, filled with Kṛṣṇa's breath, you make enemies tremble. Even sound, charged by the Lord's breath, is a weapon.
Reflection Questions
  • Where could the sound of the Lord's name displace fear in my space?
  • When did I last let chanting break the silence rather than fill it?
