When devotees are given the holy water, the following Sloka is often chanted:
akaala mR^ityu haraNaM, sarva vyaadhi nivaaraNaM
sarva dhuritopashamanaM vishhNu paadodakaM shubham.h
Prevention of untimely death, cure for all diseases, remedy for all miseries, are all possible by this water that has washed Lord Vishnu’s feet.
akaala mR^ityu means untimely death. When a person dies before the completion of an average life span, by causes such as road accidents, building collapse, fire etc., it will be called akaala mR^ityu. This Sloka says that the holy water has the power to destroy the akaala mR^ityu or untimely death and get rid of all miseries and diseases.
