trailokyasaṃbhavaṃ pāpaṃ bhuṃjate te na saṃśayaḥ | sāgarādyāni tīrthāni muktasthānāni sarvaśaḥ
Sin duda, ellos cosechan el pecado nacido en los tres mundos; no hay duda. Los tīrthas sagrados, comenzando por el océano y los demás por doquier, son moradas de liberación.

FAQs
It states that pāpa has inevitable results—people must undergo its fruits without doubt—framing karma as inescapable across the ‘three worlds’ (trailokya).
The phrase means “tīrthas beginning with the ocean,” using the ocean as a prominent example to indicate a broader class of sacred places of pilgrimage.
The verse juxtaposes karmic accountability (one must bear the fruit of pāpa) with the remedial, liberating role of tīrthas, presenting pilgrimage/sacred practice as connected to purification and mokṣa.
