Exposition of Pratikramana Stotras
3. The performer: Three ways an activity can be performed (i) by own self (karana), (ii) to get it done by others (karävana) or (iii) to approve actions of someone else (anumodana).
4: Passions: There are 4 types of passions (i) anger (krodha), (ii) pride (mäna), (iii) deceit (mäyä) and (iv) greed (lobha).
One hundred and eight (108) kinds of activities are enlisted in the Jaina Scriptures, which are harmful to the soul. This figure is arrived by taking into account the four (4) different passions, the three (3) actors, the three (3) kinds of activities and the three (3) stages of activities. The result of multiplication of these factors (4x3x3x3) is 108.
34. Vandittu Sutra
57
Object: This is the longest principal aphorism of both night (devasika) and day (räi) Pratikramana. A householder is supposed to observe five ethical codes of conduct (Ächära) and twelve householder vows (bärä vrata). This aphorism is to ask forgiveness, if any transgressions have occurred while observing these vows.
Sutra and Meaning:
વંદિત્તુ સવ્વસિદ્ધ, ધમ્માયરિએ અ સવ્વસાહૂ અ, ઈચ્ચછામિ પડિકમિઉં, સાવગધમ્માઈ આરસ. ૧
vandittu savva siddhe, dhammäyare a, savva sähu a;
ichchhämi padikkamiun, sävaga dhammäi ärassa. 1
Bowing to the Omniscient pathfinders (tirthankaras) and liberated souls (siddhas), the leaders of monastic congregation (dharmächärya), and all the monks (sädhus), I wish to confess for all the transgressions I may have committed while following layman's vows. 1
જો મે વાઈઆરો, નાણે તહ દંસગે ચરિત્તે અ, સુહુમો અ બાયો વા, ત નિંદે તં ચ ગરિહામિ. ૨
