167. Pāpanāśinī

She eliminates sin.

In the fires of knowledge all sins are burnt. By once saying the name of God all sins past, present and future are burnt forever.

What is sin? It is a feeling of guilt associated with an action or a thought. If an action is performed without any thought of it, later on, that action cannot be considered to be the sin. Action by itself is neither sin nor virtue. It is made the sin or a virtue by a subsequent process associated with it.
