ज्ञानतोऽज्ञानतो वापि यत्पापं पूर्वसंचितम् । तत्सर्वं नाशमायाति इत्याह कपिलो मुनिः
jñānato'jñānato vāpi yatpāpaṃ pūrvasaṃcitam | tatsarvaṃ nāśamāyāti ityāha kapilo muniḥ
جان بوجھ کر یا نادانستہ طور پر، پہلے سے جمع شدہ جو بھی گناہ ہیں—وہ سب مٹ جاتے ہیں؛ یوں کپل مُنی نے فرمایا۔
Narrator quoting Kapila
Tirtha: Kapilā-Ṣaṣṭhī (Prabhāsa; Kapiladhārā–Kapileśvara)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Implied interlocutor continuing from ‘varavarṇinī’ address in the sequence
Scene: Sage Kapila, seated near a sacred stream, raises his hand in assurance while devotees listen; behind them stands the Kapileśvara shrine. Dark smoke-like motifs representing pāpa dissolve into light as the vow is proclaimed.
Puranic dharma emphasizes purification: sincere sacred observance can eradicate even long-stored sins, whether deliberate or accidental.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, in the Kapileśvara/Kapilā-Ṣaṣṭhī context.
The verse states the purificatory result (pāpa-nāśa); the surrounding passage ties it to Kapilā-Ṣaṣṭhī vrata and related rites.
