Seven lacs beings of earth, seven lacs beings of Water, Seven lacs beings of fire and Seven lacs beings of air.
(3) There are also 10 lacs Pratyek (individual) Vanaspatikaya, 14 lacs Sadharan (Aggregate) Vanaspatikaya, 2 lacs of two senses, 2 lacs of three senses and 2 lacs of four senses living beings.
There are also four Celestial beings, four lacs hell beings, four lacs animals and 14 lacs of human beings; Allthese make up a total of 84,00,000 lacs.
Have I harmed any of these beings or have I committed 18 kinds of sins; whether in present or previous births, I pray to apologise in three ways, lest, for these I may suffer in Hell. (6)
| also apologise for the violence, falshehood, addatadan (usurping other's property), and lust for sexual enjoyments. (7)
Hoarding things in intense anger, in deception, in greed, in pride and in deciet, in attachment and in harted, I indulged; losing sense of discrimination.
All living beings were hurt by me by slandering, by quarreling, by doing deceiful and wicked deeds and by indulgence in likes and dislikes (Rati-Arati).
Speaking ill of others in public or misappropriating the property, deposited in Trust or trusting in wrong guru, wrong god and wrong creed, I might have sinned.
Beings born as a butcher, I might have killed many creatures and as fowler I might have killed many sparrows, day and night. (11)
Happening to be a kaji or mulla, uttering evil incantations, and thus injuring many; I committed many sinful acts.
(12) If I was a fisher man, I caught fish a net; if I was a hunter, 1 entrapped hares and perhaps as a Bhil or Koli, 1 hunted wild animals.
(13) May be as a Kotwal, | inflicted severe punishments and extracted fines, killing many prisoners by whipping or beating with a rope or a stick.
Perhaps in the birth as Paramadhami (a hell-god), foul deeds perfromed, like instensely, piercing, cutting and beating hell-beings, causing severe pains.
