It is written in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu that even namabhasa destroys all sins and grants liberation.
tam nirvyajam bhaja guna-nidhe pavananam
sraddha-rajyan-matir atitaram uttamah-sloka-maulim
prodyann antah-karana-kuhare hanta yan-nama-bhanor
abhaso ‘pi ksapayati maha-pataka-dhvanta-rasim
O holder of all good qualities, worship Lord Krishna, the purifier of purifiers, the noblest of personalities, glorified with chosen verses. Worship him with faith and a steadfast mind, unambiguously and in a noble way. Worship the Lord whose name is like the sun. The slightest appearance of the sun dispels the darkness of the night, so the slightest appearance of Krishna’s holy name can wipe out all the darkness of ignorance that falls upon the heart due to serious sinful activities performed in previous lives.
By performing the practices of devotional service according to the teachings of the Siksastaka, Krishna’s pastimes gradually manifest in the heart of the devotee. In his commentary on the Siksastaka, the Sammodana-bhasya, Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura states that in the first verse the word param indicates that after the sraddha and sat-sanga, that is, at the stage of bhajana-kriya, one dedicates oneself to chanting the holy name.
