## Repentance for the transgressions of the twelve vows: 1. Transgression of the vow of non-violence
The first Anuvrata - **Thulao Panaivaayaao Veramanam**, to refrain from harming any living being, whether two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed, or five-sensed, with the intention of harming them, knowing that they are living beings, except for those who are harmful and criminal, and to refrain from harming them with the intention of harming them, with the mind, speech, and body. This is the first **sthula pranatipat veraman** vow, which has five transgressions that should be known and avoided. These are: **aloou-bandhe** (binding), **vahe** (hitting with a whip or stick), **chhavi-chheee** (piercing the skin), **aibhare** (overloading), and **bhat-paan-vichcheh** (depriving of food and water). These are all **michcha mi dukkad** (bad karma).
**Meaning:** A Shravak has twelve vows, of which five are called Anuvratas and seven are called Uttargunas. The transgression of these vows in the world is called **atichaar**. Each vow has five transgressions. Here, the method of purification for the five transgressions of the vow of non-violence is described. I will not harm, nor will I cause harm, with my mind, speech, and body, to any two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed, or five-sensed living beings, except for those who are harmful and criminal, knowing that they are living beings. If I have bound any living being, beaten them with a whip or stick, pierced their skin, overloaded them, or deprived them of food and water, then all these sins will be nullified.
**Implication:** A householder Shravak renounces the intentional harming of innocent living beings in the vow of non-violence. He does not renounce the harming of stationary living beings, but he does renounce the unnecessary harming of them. He also renounces the harming of criminal living beings, but only the harming of innocent living beings. He renounces the intentional harming of innocent living beings, even with the intention of harming them, such as "I will kill this." In agriculture, construction, and business, innocent living beings are also harmed, but this is initial violence, not intentional. Therefore, a householder Shravak does not renounce it. This is why his first vow is called **sthula pranatipat veraman**. This is accepted with two actions and three yogas.
## 2. Transgressions of the vow of refraining from false speech
The second Anuvrata - **Thulao Musavaayaao Veramanam**, to refrain from speaking big lies, such as **kanaliye** (deceitful), **govaliye** (deceitful), **bhomaliye** (deceitful), **nasavaharo** (false promises), **koodsakkhije** (false witness), etc., with the mind, speech, and body. This is the second **sthula mrishavaad veraman** vow, which has five transgressions that should be known and avoided. These are: **aloou** (false accusation), **sahasabbakkhaane** (speaking in front of many), **rahasabbakkhaane** (speaking in secret), **sadaramantbhee** (speaking with a deceitful intention), **mosovaese** (deceitful behavior), and **koodlehakarane** (deceitful action). These are all **michcha mi dukkad** (bad karma).
