Let Understanding Lead to Chanting

“After saying this, the disciple of Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī began to chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa. Hearing this, Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī made the following statement.”

  • His words of acceptance were followed by chanting, not merely further argument.
  • Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī heard the chanting and then spoke. The verse marks this transition in the discussion.
