5. Oh, Jinendra ! may all my conduct of walking about here and
there carelessly or in inadvertence causing ekindriya jivas (embodied souls with one sense-organ only viz touch such as earth-bodies, water-bodies, fire-bodies, air-bodies, plants and vegetables) to lose their lives, get cut, hurt, or maimed, suffer pain, separate from or mix with one another be such as if it had not happened at all.
6. Oh, God! Very often I have no understanding and act
contrary to the path of liberation. Therefore. may all my impure conduct owing to actions inspired by desires and four vices of anger, pride, illusion or deceit, and greed to satisfy my sense-organs be such as if it had not happened at
all,
7. I hereby will that by my intense censure, confession and
repentence, all improper actions committed by my body, mind, and speech under the influence of four vices which are the cause of worldly misery be destroyed, just as all poison is destroyed by the power of incantation of a healer.
8. On, Jinendra Deva ! I have now undertaken this course of
repentence in order to purify my conduct of innumerable actions of 'atikrama,' 'vyatikrama,' 'atichara' and 'anachara' committed by me in indolence and apathy for the right conduct,
9. Oh, Lord I The saints have explained that lapses in the purity
of thoughts is ‘atikrama,' transgressions in the observance of vows is ‘vyatikrama,' indulgence in actions only to please sense-organs is 'atichara,' and getting engrossed in overindulgence thereof is' anachara.'
0. May Goddess Saraswati (Mother Jina Vani) grant me for
giveness and render help to me in attaining ‘kevala Jnana' (omniscience), if out of indulgence and apathy by omitting or twisting a meaning, a dot, a dash, a word or a sentence |
