Hatakalmaṣa (हतकल्मष) refers to that which is “divested of sins”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.30. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] [Satī] desired to burn off the body and retain the pure wind by yogic means. In this posture she remembered the feet of her lord and nothing else. Her body divested of its sins (hatakalmaṣa) fell in the yogic fire and was reduced to ashes, O excellent sage, in accordance with her own wish”.
