Sūta said: Thereafter the delighted lord Aghora blessed Brahmā and said to him: “Do not doubt that I, assuming this form, destroy all kinds of sin, including the terrible sin of brahmin slaughter. O blessed one, O deity of virtuous sacred rites, I destroy all minor and major sins of small or great power and poignancy. O Brahmā, I destroy verbal, physical, mixed and incidental sins committed wantonly and consciously. I dispel the natural and adventitious sins inherited from either parent. O lord, do not doubt that I destroy all miseries originating from sins.
