# Cc. Madhya 22.132 > নামসংকীর্তনং শ্রীমন্মথুরামণ্ডলে স্থিতিঃ ॥১৩২॥ ## Text > nāma-saṅkīrtanaṁ śrīman- > mathurā-maṇḍale sthitiḥ ## Synonyms *nāma-saṅkīrtanam*—chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa *mahā-mantra*; *śrīman-mathurā-maṇḍale*—in Mathurā, where Kṛṣṇa specifically performs His pastimes; *sthitiḥ*—residence. ## Translation **“ 'One should congregationally chant the holy name of the Lord and reside in Vṛndāvana.'** ## Purport Navadvīpa-dhāma, Jagannātha Purī-dhāma and Vṛndāvana-dhāma are considered to be identical. If one goes to Mathurā-maṇḍala-bhūmi for sense gratification or to make a livelihood, he commits an offense and is condemned. Whoever does so must be penalized in the next life by becoming a hog or a monkey in Vṛndāvana-dhāma. After taking on such a body, the offender is liberated in the next life. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura remarks that residing in Vṛndāvana with a view to enjoy sense gratification surely leads a so-called devotee to a lower species.
