शैवं षडक्षरं मंत्रं योजपेच्छ्रद्धयान्वितः । अपि ब्रह्मवधा त्पापं जातं तस्य प्रणश्यति
śaivaṃ ṣaḍakṣaraṃ maṃtraṃ yojapecchraddhayānvitaḥ | api brahmavadhā tpāpaṃ jātaṃ tasya praṇaśyati
“Quem, cheio de fé, repete o mantra śaiva de seis sílabas—até mesmo o pecado que nasce do assassinato de um brâmane é destruído para essa pessoa.”
Suvrata
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee seated near sacred waters, eyes half-closed, counting rudrākṣa beads; a subtle aura around the mantra syllables; shadowy forms of past sins dissolving into light associated with Śiva.
Faithful mantra-japa of Śiva is portrayed as a powerful purifier, capable of burning even the heaviest karmic stains.
The tīrtha context frames the instruction, but the verse chiefly glorifies Śiva-mantra potency rather than a named geography.
Perform japa of the Śaiva ṣaḍakṣara-mantra with śraddhā (faith) as a prāyaścitta and purifier.
