So "I shall take opportunity of taking bribe on the strength of my superior post in government service." According to law, that is greatest offender, the greatest criminal, according to law. If a policeman kills, his offense and his punishment is greater than an ordinary man killing. That is the law. Knowingly.

So the "Nārāyaṇa," the constant chanting of "Nārāyaṇa," on account of the name . . . nowadays the fashion is that we do not keep the name of our children in God's name. Formerly, "Kṛṣṇa dāsa," "Nārāyaṇa dāsa," "Govardhana dāsa," some of . . . there are thousands of Viṣṇu's name.

matiṁ cakāra tanaye
bāle nārāyaṇāhvaye
(SB 6.1.27)

So when he was just on the point of death, naturally he had affection for his son, so he was calling, "Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, please come here, please come here." That is natural. I know my father, when he was dying, so I was not at home. So he lived for one day to see me. He was always inquiring, "Whether Abhay has come back, come back," like that. So by the paternal affection he showed that.

Similarly, the Ajāmila was also calling "Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa." And in the Bhagavad-gītā it is said, yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran loke tyajaty ante kalevaram (BG 8.6). This practice means at the time of death if one can remember Kṛṣṇa, Nārāyaṇa, then his whole life is successful. At the time of death. Because the mentality, status of the mind at the time of death, will carry him to the next life.
