________________ IMPORTANCE OF CONFESSION Jambudipe je hunti pavvaya, te yev hunti hemass Dijjanti satkhite, na chhutte divas pachhint am ||1|| Jambudipe je hujja valua, tau hunti rayanai Dijjanti satkhite, na chhutte divas pachhint am ||2||| The soul, that have committed numerous sins can't become pure even after donating gold equivalent to all the mountains of Jambu island and precious stone as equals all the sand of Jambu island. But the same soul becomes pure by confessing innocently and willingly as well as by repenting. Aaloyanparinao sammam sanpaithio gurusagase Jai antravi kalam karei aaraho tahavi || What else can we say, the great soul, who has moved towards .confession, even though dies before or during atonement, becomes pure. The soul confessing improperly, even after completing the recommended atonement etc, doesn't become pure. Hence one has to confess purely.
