Samvatsari Pratikramana
Chauvihar pachchkkhan fasiam, paaliam, sohiam,
tiriam, kittiam, aarahiam, Jan cha na aarahiam tassa michchha mi dukkadam.
With Namaskar and folded fist, I have accepted the vow to give up all 4 types of food until 48 minutes after sunrise.
I have touched such vow (sparshyum- by following the right procedure and accepting the vow at the right time), I have honored it (palyum- to remind oneself of the accepted vow as frequently as possible), I have added grace to it (shobhavyum-by offering food to Guru bhagwant and elders first and then eating from what is left), I have patiently waited for some more time after 48 minutes before relieving it (tiryum), I have recollected at the time of eating/drinking that my vow has been fulfilled (kirtyum) and I have thus carried out my vow appropriately as above (aaradhyu); in doing so whatever inadequacies and mistakes I made, may that sin be fruitless and forgiven. (6 purities of pacchakkhan have also been mentioned:
Shraddha shuddhi: To accept vows from a believer (enhance belief)
Gyan shuddhi: To make an effort to understand the meaning, purpose, etc. (enhance knowledge)
Vinay shuddhi: To accept vow after paying obeisance to the Guru (enhance humility)
Anubhashan shuddhi: To softly recite the words of the pacchakkhan in mind while the Guru is giving pacchakkhan
Anupalan shuddhi: To not give up and fulfill the vow despite any critical exigencies
Bhaav shuddhi: To accept such vows only with the intention of shedding karmas and not with any desire of benefits in this life or future lives.
