YOGABÍNDU
Those who have performed penance in plenty (and hence are an authority on the subject) apply epithet mṛtyughna to that fasting for a month which is accompanied by the muttering of the chant called mṛtyunjaya (lit. death-conquering) and is pure on account of the due procedure having been followed.

पापसूदनमध्येवं तत्तत्पापाद्यपेक्षया ।
चित्रमन्त्रजपप्रायं प्रत्यापत्तिविशोधितम् ॥ १३५ ॥
papasūdanam apy evaṁ tatlatpapadya pekṣayā | citramantraja paprayam pratyapattiviśodhitam //135||
The same is the case with the type of penance called papasūdana (i.e. it too is pure on account of the due procedure having been followed) a type which is characterized by a frequent muttering of the various chants corresponding to the various sins sought to be expiated and is rendered pure by an abhorrence of the things occasioning sin.

In our daily experience as also in the Scriptural texts we come across nasty statements to this effect (i. e. statements expressing the speaker's antipathy towards mokṣa) made by foolish statements never to be paid heed by noble souls.
