Sūtra No. 1 Khamāsamaņa Sūtra
1. CHIHUT HET इच्छामि खमा-समणो ! वंदिउं जावणिज्जाए निसीहिआए ? मत्थएण वंदामि
1. Khamāsamana Sūtra Ichchhāmi Khamā-Samano ! Vandium Jāvanijjae Nisihiae ? Matthaēna Vandāmi
This sutra should be recited in front of a tirthankar idol or in front of a Jain guruji while kneeling down. This is the most frequently recited sutra in all rituals.
If you are in a temple or in a upashraya, you should kneel down such that your knees and head touch the ground. If you are paying respect to a guru outside of the upashraya, you may simply bow your forehead.
Meaning: Oh ! Forgiving Gurudev, I bow down to you, renouncing all my sinful activities according to the best of my ability.
