12.195.1
गतीनामुत्तमा प्राप्तिः कथिता जापकेष्विह ।
एकैवैषा गतिस्तेषामुत यान्त्यपरामपि ॥ १२.१९५.१ ॥
Here the highest attainment among the paths has been declared for those who recite japa. This is their one destination, or they go to another as well.

शृणु वहितो राजञ्जापकानां गतिं विभो ।
यथा गच्छन्ति निरयमनेकं पुरुषर्षभ ॥ १२.१९५.२ ॥

अहंकारकृतश्चैव सर्वे निरयग्रामिनः ।
परावमानी पुरुषो भविता निरयोपगः ॥ १२.१९५.५ ॥
All who act from egotism are bound for hell; a man who disparages others will reach hell.
12.195.6
अभिध्यापूर्वकं जप्यं कुरुते यश्च मोहितः ।
यत्रास्य रागः पतति तत्रतत्रोपपद्यते ॥ १२.१९५.६ ॥
He who, deluded, performs recitation preceded by covetousness, is reborn wherever his attachment falls.
12.195.7
अथैश्वर्यप्रसक्तः सञ्जापको यत्र रज्यते ।
स एव निरयस्तस्य नासौ तस्मात्प्रमुच्यते ॥ १२.१९५.७ ॥
Then, the reciter attached to power, wherever he takes delight, that very place is hell for him; he is not released from it.
12.195.8
रागेण जापको जप्यं कुरुते यश्च मोहितः ।
यत्रास्य रागः पतति तत्र तत्रोपजायते ॥ १२.१९५.८ ॥
The reciter who, through attachment and delusion, performs his recitation, wherever his attachment falls, there he is born.
12.195.9
दुर्बुद्धिरकृतप्रज्ञश्चले मनसि तिष्ठति ।
फलस्यापचितिं याति निरयं चाधिगच्छति ॥ १२.१९५.९ ॥
The one of evil intellect, without cultivated wisdom, dwells in the restless mind; he suffers a loss of fruit and attains hell.
12.195.10
अकृतव्रज्ञको बालो मोहं गच्छति जापकः ।
स मोहान्निरयं याति यत्र गत्वाऽनुशोचति ॥ १२.१९५.१० ॥
The ignorant, unpractised child-like reciter falls into delusion; through that delusion he goes to hell, and having gone there, he grieves.

न संपूर्णो न वा युक्तो निरयं सोऽधिगच्छति ॥ १२.१९५.११ ॥
Holding firmly to the thought 'I am doing it,' the reciter recites the mantra; neither complete nor properly joined, he attains hell.
12.195.12
अनिमित्तं परं यत्तदव्यक्तं ब्रह्मणि स्थितम् ।
तद्भूतो जापकः कस्मात्सशरीरमिहाविशेत् ॥ १२.१९५.१२ ॥
That which is supreme, without cause or sign, abiding in the unmanifest Brahman — why would the reciter, having become that, enter here again with a body?
12.195.13
दुष्प्रज्ञानेन निरया बहवः समुदाहृताः ।
प्रशस्तं जापकत्वं च दोषाश्चैते तदात्मकाः ॥ १२.१९५.१३ ॥
Through wrong understanding, many hells are declared. The state of one who recites is praised, yet these faults too consist of that.
