Appendix-4: Confession of Minor Sins
331
This (or so) is the good result, the wise one, having known, controls the body. He is praised in the heavenly world, I confess everything. ||23||
As long as I do not renounce the minor sins with my body, as long as there is doubt, I will renounce this Jain religion, I will make my mind impure. ||24||
Therefore, if a person commits minor sins, it will be harmful to the body.
At the time of death, I will remember the Arhat, I will attain liberation. ||25||
[Ga. 26-34. Confession of remembering the Arhat, confession of minor sins, confession of wrong beliefs]
I bow to the Arhats, I bow to the Siddhas, I bow to the liberated ones.
I bow to the Aayariyauvazhāyās, I bow to all the virtuous ones. ||26||
I confess to violence, lying, stealing, sexual misconduct, possession, and wrong beliefs. I confess to the various types of food and drink at the time of death. ||27||
The ultimate truth is not the body, the body is not the source of happiness, the earth is not the source of happiness. The heart that is pure, that is the source of happiness. ||28||
One being is born, one being dies, one being is reborn. One being wanders in the cycle of birth and death, one being attains liberation. ||29||
I confess to my own shortcomings in knowledge, vision, and conduct. I confess to all the remaining bad qualities. ||30||
Those who know me as a Jain, I confess to them in every place. I confess to them in every way. ||31||
The foolish mind, with its six senses, collects so much. I do not remember it, I confess to this wrong belief, this is my suffering. ||32||
If I have pride in this body, in this beautiful body, in this beautiful body, I confess to it. I confess to eating food, to the body, to the previous bad deeds. ||33||
...previous bad deeds. I confess to all three types of bad qualities at the time of my last breath. ||34||
|| Confession of Minor Sins is complete. ||3||
