First study: Samayika [15]
'Du'- I denounce the blamable soul, 'Ka'- the performed cautious karmas, 'Dang'- I renounce through equanimity. That is, being humble in substance and sentiment, and established in the limits of conduct, I denounce the blamable soul-activity and relinquish the committed misdeeds (sins) through the sentiment of equanimity. However, this is a distressed imagination. Acarya-pathika-sutra
I wish to perform pratikramana for the transgressions in the movement, coming and going, stepping on living beings, stepping on seeds, stepping on green vegetation, crushing the anthills, spider-webs, and other living beings' habitats,
which my jivas (souls) have violated - the one-sensed, two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed, five-sensed, abhihata (struck), vattiya (covered), lesiya (stained), sanghata (aggregated), sanghattiya (collided), pariyapanna (surrounded), kilama (fatigued), uddaviya (disturbed), shifted from one place to another, deprived of life,
for that mistaken deed of mine.
Meaning - I perform pratikramana (confession and repentance). If due to carelessness or inattentiveness while walking on the path or observing the vow of restraint, any harm or violation has been caused to any living being, then I wish to abstain from that sin.
- While going out from the upashraya (abode) for svadhyaya (self-study) etc. and then returning to the upashraya, or while moving on the path, if I have crushed the living beings under my feet or in any other way, or have trampled upon the grains of corn, wheat or any other seeds, or have crushed the green vegetation like grass, sprouts etc., then may that entire sin born out of transgression be false-void and ineffective.
And if I have violated or harmed any living being from the one-sensed to the five-sensed, obstructed the ones coming in front, covered with dust etc., crushed on the ground or among themselves, heaped them up, touched them carelessly in a distressing manner, fatigued, disturbed, shifted from one place to another, deprived of life, then may all that sin be false-void and ineffective.
Explanation - A human being is a wanderer. He keeps moving all the time. Sometimes he moves with the body, sometimes he explores the world with his speech, and sometimes he measures the sky-underworld with his mind. His one yoga (union) remains perpetually dynamic. His journey begins from the first breath of life and continues till the last breath. The ascetic is especially a wanderer. The meaning is that movement in life is an inevitable activity.
