The two words of the Name are my whole rosary — told in the heart, not on beads; ask for it, enshrine it within, and it frees you from birth and death and goes with you to the next world.
The Arc
Pauri 0: the Name is my rosary; telling it, mercy comes. The Pause (Pauri 1): pray the Guru to give the rosary of the Name and keep me sheltered. Pauri 2: enshrined in the heart, it frees from birth and death. Pauri 3: held in heart and on mouth, the soul never wavers. Pauri 4: the one soaked in the Name carries the rosary to the next world.
