Thus often engaged in Karmadans (sinful activities), tortured were the beings, of fire and water by me.
Built were the gardens, forests, rest-houses, vavs (reservoirs of water), green vegetation and plucked leaves, flowers and fruits.
Dried were the grains-jawar, bajari, wheat etc. into ponk, And baked papadi : These were cut and pounded too.
Milled were the ground-nuts, mustard seeds and oil-seeds of many a kind.
crushed, were the sugar-cane in a crusher and sold were the roots and tubers.
By me thus were killed ekendriya jivas or were caused to be killed, or praised were persons, busy killing them.
I beg "Michhami Dukkadam" for all these sins done in present or previous births.
Crushed were worms, sheep-ells, papua and earth-worms and water worms.

In these ways were troubled teindriyas-(living beings having three senses).
By me, so I beg "Michhami Dukkadam" for all these

Casting net in ponds of water and troubling water beings and killing deer in the forest,
entrapping birds and encaging parrots. Thus were troubled, Panchendriya living beings having five senses,
I beg, "Michhami Dukkadam" for all these sins and repent much for it.
