This verse comes from the Bhagavata Purana, specifically:
Canto 12, Chapter 13, Verse 23 (sometimes numbered 12.13.23)
नमसङ्कीर्तनं यस्य सर्वपापप्रणाशनम् ।
प्रणामो दुःखशमनस्तं नमामि हरिं परम् ॥
It appears near the concluding section of the text, praising the power of chanting the name of Hari (Vishnu/Krishna).
Context: The final chapter summarizes the glory of devotion, and this verse emphasizes:
- nāma-saṅkīrtanam → chanting the divine name
- sarva-pāpa-praṇāśanam → destroys all sins
- praṇāmaḥ duḥkha-śamanaḥ → bowing removes sorrow
It’s often quoted in bhakti traditions to support nāma-saṅkīrtana (chanting) as a primary spiritual practice.
