Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 2.23.78:

ইহা হৈতে সর্ব-সিদ্ধি হৈবে সবার সর্ব-ক্ষণ বল’ ইথে বিধি নাহি আর ॥ ৭৮ ॥

इहा हैते सर्व-सिद्धि हैबे सबार सर्व-क्षण बल’ इथे विधि नाहि आर ॥ ७८ ॥

ihā haite sarva-siddhi haibe sabāra sarva-kṣaṇa bala’ ithe vidhi nāhi āra || 78 ||

iha haite sarva-siddhi haibe sabara sarva-ksana bala’ ithe vidhi nahi ara (78)

English translation:

(78) “By doing so, everyone will attain all perfection. Always chant, there is no other prescription.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

There are many prescriptions to be followed before one becomes a qualified candidate for initiation, but even without following any of those prescriptions, simply by constantly chanting the mahā-mantra in upāṃśu- japa, or "chanting very mildly,” everyone will attain all perfection. In other words, one attains the qualification to achieve all perfection like material enjoyment consisting of religiosity, economic development, and sense gratification; liberation consisting of cultivation of impersonal Brahman realization; or love of God, which condemns these two. In the chanting of mantra there is a consideration of proper and improper time, but with the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra there is no consideration whatsoever regarding proper and improper time, suitable and unsuitable candidate, or proper and improper place. This does not mean that one can attain any perfection simply by chanting any imaginary mantras or names, because such sound vibrations are born of ajña-rūḍhi, the conventional meaning of words according to unenlightened persons.
