यच्छक्ति नाम यत्तस्य तत्तस्मिन्नेव वस्तुनि ।साधकं पुरुषव्याघ्र सौम्यक्रूरयोर्वस्तुषु ॥इति विष्णुधर्मे ।
In plain words
Whatever power a name carries, it works on exactly the thing that name belongs to — there, and nowhere else. And this holds, tiger among men, whether the thing named is gentle or terrible. So says the Viṣṇudharma.
Close to the Sanskrit
Whatever power a name has, that name belonging to that thing — that name is effective in that very thing, O tiger among men, among things gentle and fierce. Thus in the Viṣṇudharma.
