nāmoccāraṇa-māhātmyaṁ

hareḥ paśyata putrakāḥ

ajāmilo 'pi yenaiva

mṛtyu-pāśād amucyata

O sons! See the glories of chanting the name of the Lord, by which even Ajāmila was freed from the ropes of death.

One does not have to search for proof. We have a direct example.

|| 6.3.24 ||

etāvatālam agha-nirharaṇāya puṁsāṁ

saṅkīrtanaṁ bhagavato guṇa-karma-nāmnām

vikruśya putram aghavān yad ajāmilo 'pi

nārāyaṇeti mriyamāṇa iyāya muktim

The attentive chanting of the names, pastimes and qualities of the Lord destroys the sins of man. But even attentive chanting is not necessary. Sinful Ajāmila, crying out for his son, uttered “Nārāyaṇa” while dying and still attained liberation.

“How can chanting only once nāmābhāsa destroy all sins? Now you are saying tan-nāma-grahaṇādibhiḥ. This means that by chanting, hearing and other processes of bhakti, all sins are destroyed and a person attains liberation, not just chanting once.” Chanting intently (sankīrtaṇam) the names and qualities of the Lord destroys sins of man. The word alam indicates that even this is not necessary. If one chants only one among all the Lord’s names, and not perfectly, all sins are still destroyed, because Ajāmila cried out, not perfectly chanting, and he called for his son named Nārāyaṇa, not to the Lord. He was sinful, not pure. He was an infamous sinner, not just some śūdra sinner. He chanted while suffering the pains of death, not with controlled mind. And he attained liberation, not just destruction of sins. This is the meaning of tan-nāma-grahaṇādibhiḥ.

śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ dhyānaṁ harer adbhuta-karmaṇaḥ

janma-karma-guṇānāṁ ca tad-arthe 'khila-ceṣṭitam

One should always chant and hear about the extraordinarily wonderful activities of the Lord, one should meditate upon these activities, and one should endeavor to please the Lord. SB 11.3.27

tasmāt saṅkīrtanaṁ viṣṇor jagan-maṅgalam aṁhasām

mahatām api kauravya viddhy aikāntika-niṣkṛtam

O descendent of the Kurus! Please understand that intense chanting the Lord’s name, auspicious for the universe, is the ultimate atonement for the greatest sins.  

 SB 6.3.31

anudinam idam ādareṇa śṛṇvan

pṛthu-caritaṁ prathayan vimukta-saṅgaḥ

bhagavati bhava-sindhu-pota-pāde

sa ca nipuṇāṁ labhate ratiṁ manuṣyaḥ

Whoever, with great reverence and adoration, regularly reads, chants and describes the history of Mahārāja Pṛthu's activities will certainly increase unflinching faith and attraction for the lotus feet of the Lord. The Lord's lotus feet are the boat by which one can cross the ocean of nescience. SB 4.23.39

These statements show that in many aṅgas of bhakti one should have complete faith. This is stated to increase the prema in those who have no offenses, and to destroy the offenses of those who have offenses.

evaṁ dharmair manuṣyāṇām uddhavātma-nivedinām

mayi sañjāyate bhaktiḥ ko 'nyo 'rtho 'syāvaśiṣyate

These constitute actual religious principles, by which those human beings who have actually surrendered themselves to me automatically develop love for me. What other purpose or goal could remain for my devotee? SB 11.19.24

In the last verse bhaktiḥ means prema. By saying “what other purpose” he excludes liberation.

nāmāparādha-yuktānāṁ nāmāny eva haranty agham

aviśrānti prayuktāni tāny evārthakarāṇi ca

The names of the Lord destroy the sin of those who have committed offenses to the name. By tireless chanting of the names prema will appear.

pāpakṣayaś ca bhavati smaratān tam ahar-niśam

One can become free from all sinful reactions and attain prema, simply by remembering the lotus feet of the Lord day and night. 

The word ca in the above quote means prema as well as destruction of sin. This story shows that by chanting nāmābhāsa once, one attains destruction of sin, the desire for sin, and the root of desire—ignorance, as well as attains sāyujya, sālokya and other types of liberation.
