पापोऽहं पापकर्माऽहं पापात्मा पापसंभवः । त्राहि मां देव ईशान सर्वपापहरो भव
pāpo'haṃ pāpakarmā'haṃ pāpātmā pāpasaṃbhavaḥ | trāhi māṃ deva īśāna sarvapāpaharo bhava
Я грешен; я совершаю греховные деяния; сама моя сущность пропитана грехом, рожденным из греха. Спаси меня, о Владыка Ишана,—стань Устранителем всех моих грехов.
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.
