Ajamilopakhyanam from Bhagawatham Ajamila was a pious brahmin always in the thoughts of the Gods and serving his family and parents with devotion,until he came into the influences of some Vaisyas. Then onward he was in mad love of those evil ladies, up to the extend of driving his own wife and family out of house. He had plenty of children from those Vaisyas and his previous good deeds had helped him in the form of some saints visiting his house. They had advised him to name the next son as Narayana .Ajamila was very fond of his Narayana always in his thoughts and doting him.Then one day, when he became very old and there came three Yama Doothas to take him away to the Naraka where he should belong normally due to his number of sins. Ajamila got frightened by the sights of the Yama Doothas and called out his son Narayana to save him from them. Narayana, his son, was playing with his friends and did not bother to help his father,but Narayana from Vaikunta heard his voice and send his Doothas to save Ajamila.Yama Doothas argued with the Vishnu Doothas that Ajamila actually called his son and not the God Narayana and he should not be saved from his destiny. The Vishnu Doothas said : sânketyam pârihâsyam vâ,stobham helanam eva vâ vaikuntha-nâma-grahanam,asesâgha-haram viduh(VI-2-14) In what ever way the Lords name is called,Hell liberate you from all your sins.Yama Dhoothas clarify the same from their King ,Yamaraja and depart from the scene. Ajamila is astonished that simply by calling his youngest son,if Narayana comes for the help, if only he had called the God Narayana what He would have done to the sinners like him Lets remember this always and keep chanting His names all the times , so that He might come for our help too whenever His intervention is required.
