वाचा च यत्कृतं पापं मनसा वाप्युपार्जितम् । पापं तन्नाशमायाति कीर्तिते शतरुद्रिये
vācā ca yatkṛtaṃ pāpaṃ manasā vāpyupārjitam | pāpaṃ tannāśamāyāti kīrtite śatarudriye
வாக்கால் செய்த பாவமோ, மனத்தால் சேர்த்த பாவமோ—சதருத்ரீயம் பாடப்படும்போது அந்தப் பாவம் அழிகிறது.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Devotional recitation has purifying power: Śatarudrīya chanting is presented as a potent means for pāpa-nāśa (destruction of sin).
No tīrtha is mentioned; the merit is attached to the act of chanting the Śatarudrīya.
Kīrtana/pāṭha of the Śatarudrīya is prescribed as a purificatory practice.
