Worried about the sins piled up ?

Meaning:
To wipe off hundreds of crores of sins,
isn't one uttarance of the name of shiva enough ?
isn't one uttarance of the name of hara enough ?
Oh the Divine of kUDalasangama,
when You have put Your bull (cow) symbol (on me) !

Notes:
1. Through the numerous births one accumulated the
loads of sins and virtues in accordance with the 
will and actions. One undergoes the fruits of the 
deeds as an effect. But when one has surrendered 
to God and accepts anything and everything only 
as the prasAda from the God, the person is detached
from the endless circle of karma. So for those who
have got to get the seal on them that they are 
completely surrendered slaves of God, how can the
sins affect them ? The chanting of the name of the 
Lord shiva paves way for the person to reach that
blissful state.
   "Sins are piled up like the logs upto the sky !
    Still if a fire is put in it, they become nothing !
    The sins that are committed in the world
    are chopped of the chant, 'namaHshivAya'.
                  - dEvAram"
