Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
Now the meaning of sarva pApEbhya: is explained.
pApam is that which is an obstacle to what is seeked and which is the cause for providing what is not wanted.
Those which are obstacles to reaching Him are obstacles to what is seeked. Therefore, the sins that are talked about here are those that are obstacles to reaching Him.
Since the plural form (pApEbhya:) is used, it talks about the many sins such as avidhyA, karma, vAsana, ruci and prakruti sambandham. avidhyA is lack of knowledge; karma is puNya and pApa; vAsana is attachment to lack of knowledge, to karma and to things of this world.
What is said through the "sarva" term?
It is thinking about the following:
The karmas that are done by habit without thought
(similar to scratching, etc) due to previous attachment
to this world.
The acts that are done due to the fear that 'What will
the world think of us if we don't do them?'
The daily and ritual acts that are done out of mercy
to others with the thought that 'if others stop doing
them because of we don't do them, then it is a loss to
them'.
The acts that have been given up but are repeated due
to rajas and tamas guNas.
