श्रीहनुमानुवाच । ब्रह्मरक्षोवधाज्जाता मम हत्या महेश्वर । न पापोऽहं भवेदेव युष्मत्सम्भाषणे क्षणात्
śrīhanumānuvāca | brahmarakṣovadhājjātā mama hatyā maheśvara | na pāpo'haṃ bhavedeva yuṣmatsambhāṣaṇe kṣaṇāt
ஸ்ரீ ஹனுமான் கூறினார்— “மகேஸ்வரா, பிரம்மராக்ஷஸனை வதைத்ததால் எனக்கு ஹத்த்யா தோஷம் ஏற்பட்டது. தேவா, உம்முடன் பேசும் அந்தக் கணமே நான் பாவியாக இருக்காதபடி அருள்வாயாக।”
Hanūmān
Scene: Hanūmān speaks candidly to Maheśvara: having slain a brahmarākṣasa, he fears the taint of killing and begs to be free of sin immediately through Shiva’s presence and words.
Even the mighty seek purification—acknowledging fault and turning to Śiva with sincerity is itself a path to cleansing.
The Revā Khaṇḍa setting implies Narmadā tīrthas as places where confession, darśana, and devotion lead to purification.
No formal rite is stated here; the verse highlights śaraṇāgati (seeking refuge) and the purifying power of dialogue/darśana with Śiva.
