PRATIKRAMAN RITUAL
8.2 Guru Utthäpanä We have completed the Sämäyika in the presence of a Guru symbolized by a religious book. We need to remove the symbolism so that we can move the religious book to its proper place.
Now holding Muhapatti (handkerchief) in the left hand and extending the right hand straight out with your palm turned towards your face, recite the Namaskär Sutra.
नमस्कार महामंगल सूत्र:
नमो अरिहंताणं । नमो सिद्धाणं । नमो आयरियाणं । नमो उवज्झायाणं । नमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं । एसो पंच नमुक्कारो | सव्वपावप्पणासणो | मंगलाणं च सव्वेसिं पढमं हवइ मंगलं ।।
Namaskära Mahämangal Sutra namo arihantänam. namo siddhänam. namo äyariyanam. namo uvajjhäyänam. namo loe savva-sähunam. eso panca-namukkaro, savva-päva-ppanäsano; mangalänam ca savvesim, padhamam havai mangalam.
This completes the Sämäyika ritual and also concludes the entire Pratikraman ritual. After completion, a person may recite some Stavans or Bhajans.
