A person who chants the name of the Lord while falling from a cliff, stumbling on the road, receiving injury his body, being bitten by snakes, being burned with fever or being attacked with sticks will not suffer hellish punishment.
Besides the above mentioned four types of chanting there is a fifth, chanting in conditions beyond one’s control, with different varieties. Chanting while falling from a building, stumbling on the road, breaking ones limbs, being bitten by a snake or other animal, being burned by fever, or being attacked with sticks, a person who is not a karmī, jñānī etc. will still be free from hell.

The great sages, understanding the limited nature of atonements, have said that severe atonements are prescribed for grave sins, and light atonements are prescribed for minor sins.
“According to the gravity of the sin, the scriptures say that one must do a correspondingly severe austerity. How is it that by chanting once in nāmābhāsa all of the gravest sins are destroyed?” Because the atonements have limited power, such arrangements are prescribed. However, heaps of serious sins are destroyed by chanting once even a portion of the name, since it has inconceivably great power. It is as easy as Balarāma’s ability to destroy the all Kauravas, including Duryodana, in order to save Sāmba.
