The highest nullifier of sinful deeds is paScAttApam (= the heat generated by repentence ). For all, (the ill effects of) all pApAs are purified by paScAttApa; this was indicated by wise men.
Having purified by paScAttApa, one carries out prAyaScittam ( = heartfelt regret towards harm caused by the thought, word or deed ) by prAyaScittam suggested by wisemen, the ill impacts of sins will be completely removed.
Hence, the paScAttApam and prAyaScittam should go together by the one who has committed the sinful actions. By listening to the satkathas (of purAnAs like SrI Siva mahA purANa) alone the paScAttApa arises!
