Mukunda-mālā-stotra 26

tattvaḿ bruvāṇāni paraḿ parastān
madhu kṣarantīva mudāvahāni
prāvartaya prāñjalir asmi jihve
nāmāni nārāyaṇa-gocarāṇi (Mukunda-mālā-stotra 26)

My dear tongue, I stand before you with joined palms and beg you to recite the names of Lord Nārāyaṇa. These names describing the Supreme Absolute Truth bring great pleasure as if exuding honey.

"The holy name, character, pastimes, and activities of Lord Narayana are all transcendentally sweet like sugar candy. Although the tongue of one afflicted by the jaundice of avidyā, ignorance, cannot taste anything sweet, it is wonderful that if a person simply chants these sweet names carefully every day, a natural relish awakens within his tongue, and his disease is gradually destroyed at the root" (Nectar of Instruction 7).
