The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Viṣṇusahasranāmastotram

Verse 46

मुक्तिं चेतसि यः स्थितोऽमलधियां पुंसां ददात्यव्ययःकिं चित्रं तदघं प्रयाति विलयं तत्राच्युते कीर्तिते ॥शमायालं जलं वह्नेस्तमसो भास्करोदयः ।शान्तिः कलौ ह्यघौघस्य नामसंकीर्तनं हरेः । ।

In plain words

The imperishable Lord dwelling in the hearts of the pure grants liberation; is it any wonder that sin vanishes when Acyuta is chanted? Water quenches fire, and the sunrise dispels darkness—just so, chanting Hari's name easily quiets the overwhelming flood of sins in this age of Kali.

Close to the Sanskrit

The imperishable one who is situated in the mind gives liberation to pure-minded persons; what wonder is it that sin goes to dissolution when Acyuta is chanted? Water is enough for the fire's pacification, the sun-rise for darkness. The peace of the flood of sins in Kali is indeed the chanting of Hari's name.
