How do we censure the Evil Deeds ? Five great sins : (1) PRANATIPAT : Violence to Life : 1 confess that I have killed
many a living beings. I, therefore, condemn all sins of violence (Hinsa) of mind, speech and
body. May these sins of mine be eradicated. (2) MRUSHAVAD: I have told many a lie. I may have uttered (Falsehood) falsehood out of anger, fear, pride, greed or
as a joke; so I condemn all these sins done by me through mind, speech and body. May
these sins of mine be eradicated. (3) ADATTADAN : If I had usurped wealth of others or the (To usurp a thing) property of others out of greed, discontent,
betrayal or cunningness. I condemn all these sins done by me through mind, speech and
body. May these sins of mine be eradicated. (4) ABRAHMA : if I had desired to stisfy my sexual passions (Sexuality) and if I had polluted my mind, speech or
body or had cast an amorous eye or made obscene jesticulations, condemn all these
sins of mine, which may be eradicated. (5) PARIGRAH : I hoard many a thing out of greed, tainting (Possessions) myself with many sins; so I condemn all these
sins. May these sins of mine be eradicated.

May these sins of mine be eradicated.
