पापोऽहं पापकर्माऽहं पापात्मा पापसंभवः । त्राहि मां देव ईशान सर्वपापहरो भव
pāpo'haṃ pāpakarmā'haṃ pāpātmā pāpasaṃbhavaḥ | trāhi māṃ deva īśāna sarvapāpaharo bhava
我は罪深く、罪の業をなす者、身も心も罪に染まり、罪より生まれし者です。救いたまえ、主イーシャーナよ—我が一切の罪を滅する御方となりたまえ。
Andhaka
Scene: Andhaka prostrates or stands with trembling folded hands, repeating ‘pāpa’ as a litany; Śiva as Īśāna radiates compassion and sovereign power, poised to grant purification.
Sincere confession and surrender to Śiva invites grace that destroys sin and restores the soul to dharma.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it is a universal prayer within a tīrtha-mahātmya chapter.
The verse exemplifies prārthanā (supplication) and śaraṇāgati (seeking refuge), not a formal ritual.
