03. खमासमण सूत्र - Ichchhami Khamasamano Sutra
03. Introduction: This sutra is recited while offering obeisance to any Tirthankar's image or to monks and nuns. This sutra is recited three times in front of a Tirthankar's image at the temple, or two times in front of an ascetic at an Upäshray (temporary living place for monks). The sutra is recited in a specific posture wherein five body parts, namely two hands, two knees and the forehead, touch the floor together. Hence it is also known as Panchang Pranipät Sutra.
