These thousand sacred names of Shri Yamuna bring fame and fulfill all desires. They remove the greatest sins. They increase the span of life.

A person who once recites these names need not fear thieves at night. A person who twice recites these names need not fear highwaymen.

A brahmana who chants these names ten times as he devotedly meditates on Shri Yamuna, if he is diseased becomes free of his disease, if he is imprisoned becomes released from prison, if he wishes a son begets a son, if he wishes knowledge, becomes a learned scholar, and becomes free from bewilderment, paralysis, being under others’ control, forced exile, being attacked by others, withering away, panic, madness, and suffering. He attains great wealth. He attains whatever he desires in his heart.

By hearing these thousand names a brahmana attains great Brahmanical power, a Kshatriya becomes king of the world, a Vaisya becomes the master of great wealth, and a Sudra becomes pure in heart.

A person who, when he worships the Lord recites these thousand names of Shri Yamuna is never touched by sin as a lotus leaf is never touched by water.

A person who for one year every day recites these names one hundred times and every day performs the Yamuna-Patala, Yamuna-Paddhati, Yamuna-Stava, and Yamuna-Kavaca becomes king of the seven Dvipas.

A person who, devoted to Shri Yamuna and free of material motives, recites these prayers, attains the three goals of life, becomes saintly, and becomes liberated even in this world.

A person who recites these thousand names goes to Goloka, the beautiful realm filled with flowering vines by the Yamuna’s shore, the sound of intoxicated bees, and the charming pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

In my next article, I will explain Pancanga Worship – 4. Sri Yamuna-patala & 5. Sri Yamuna-paddhati
