परदारादिकं पापं दैत्यानां तु विकृंतने । वधे वृत्रस्य संजातं तत्सर्वं क्षालयाम्यहम्
paradārādikaṃ pāpaṃ daityānāṃ tu vikṛṃtane | vadhe vṛtrasya saṃjātaṃ tatsarvaṃ kṣālayāmyaham
«Le péché qui commence par des fautes telles que violer l’épouse d’autrui, celui contracté en taillant en pièces les Dāitya, et celui né du meurtre de Vṛtra — tout cela, je l’effacerai en le lavant.»
Indra
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra tīrtha (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A divine speaker (Sura-indra/Indra implied by context) declares the washing away of sins—sexual transgression and battle-born guilt—framed by a sacred mountain-tīrtha landscape, with attendants listening in solemnity.
Even mighty deeds can generate moral burden; purification is sought through dharmic means—tīrtha, devotion, and repentance.
Vastrāpatha Kṣetra (by implication), where Indra intends to remove sins through worship of Bhava.
Atonement (prāyaścitta) through pilgrimage and Śiva worship, explicitly framed as ‘washing away’ accumulated sin.
