Devanagari script

एवं कृत्वा नरो भक्त्या यात्रां देवस्य शूलिनः । निर्माल्यातिक्रमोद्भूतैरज्ञानाद्भक्षणोद्भवैः । पापैः प्रमुच्यते जंतुस्तथाऽन्यैः कर्मसंभवैः

Transliteration

evaṃ kṛtvā naro bhaktyā yātrāṃ devasya śūlinaḥ | nirmālyātikramodbhūtairajñānādbhakṣaṇodbhavaiḥ | pāpaiḥ pramucyate jaṃtustathā'nyaiḥ karmasaṃbhavaiḥ

Translation

このように、信愛をもって三叉戟を執る主（Śūlin）への巡礼（yātrā）を成し遂げたなら、人は罪より解き放たれる――供物の聖残 nirmālya を犯すことから生じる罪、無知ゆえにそれを食することから生じる罪、さらに行為（カルマ）より起こる他の諸罪からも。

FAQs

Devotional pilgrimage functions as purification—sincere yātrā to Śiva releases even inadvertent ritual faults.

Prabhāsa Kṣetra as a liberating pilgrimage-field, in the Caṇḍīśa Māhātmya frame.

Complete the yātrā of Śiva (Śūlin) with devotion; it serves as a prāyaścitta for nirmālya-related and other karma-born sins.
