25: APARADHA PARIHARA ADHIKARAM: THE 18TH CHAPTER OF SRTS: PAAPAMS NOT JOINING THE PRAPANNAN
MEANING: A Prapannan afraid of the bundles of his sins performs prapatthi; after that, he will not commit knowingly sins that interfere with Bhagavath kaimkaryams. If he has the ignorance/ avivEkam to commit such pApams, he will perform PrAyascchittha prapatthi to destroy the roots for the generation of such pApams. After the performance of the PrAyascchittha Prapatthi, the avivEkam causing those sins will be thoroughly destroyed.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The Paapams collected before Prapatthi are destroyed by the act of Prapatthi. After Prapatthi, those sins accumulated knowingly during dangerous situations and those unknowingly accrued from kaala, dEsa viparIthams will be destroyed without coming near the Prapannan. Those knowingly committed can be destroyed by PrAyascchittha Prapatthi. The way in which the latter is destroyed is as follows:
(1) Quarter of the Paapams is destroyed by repentance over committing such a pApam
(2) Quarter is destroyed by stopping from engaging in such pApams
(3) The third quarter of the pApams is banished by the efforts to do prAyascchittham and
(4) The last quarter is destroyed by the act of PrAyascchitth Prapatthi.
Thus all of these pApams of the PrapannAs are destroyed. Those PrapannAs, who do not perform PrAyascchittha prapatthi will receive some punishment from the Lord in this world and thus will be cleared of the pApams. Thus for a Prapannan, rebirth or naraka vAsam does not happen by any means. Bhagavatha apachAram is the most heinous of all Paapams and should be avoided at all costs.
