35. वंदित्तु सूत्र - Vandittu Sutra 35. Introduction
This is the longest principal aphorism of both night (devasika) and day (räi) Pratikramana. A householder is supposed to observe five ethical codes of conduct (Achära) and twelve householder vows (bärä vrata). This aphorism is to ask forgiveness if any wrong doings have occurred while observing these vows. As is the custom, recitation of this sutra begins by first paying homage to the five supreme beings, and is followed by asking for forgiveness for any wrong doing committed while following the house holder's vows (shrävaka vratta), which a Jain layperson will take in preparation for the life of a sadhu.
