Devotional listening to sacred glorifications (māhātmya-śravaṇa) is itself a purifying spiritual practice.
Dvārakā Māhātmya is being praised; the passage frames its sanctity as rooted in Viṣṇu’s supreme holiness.
Śravaṇa (listening) with bhakti to Hari is prescribed as a means for sarva-pāpa-kṣaya (release from sins).
