sufferings, torment, vanity, etc. done mentally, physically or by speech to any living being of the universe due to anger, pride, deceit or greed; then I beg pardon of all the living beings witnessed by Lord Simandhara, all the omniscient Lords and emancipated Lords. Oh Lord! I profoundly supplicate for the forgiveness for all that, may my sins become fruitless, null and void! All living beings are my friends, I have no enemies; I forgive all living beings, may all living beings forgive me! I expiate and beg pardon from ascetics, enlightened beings, seekers, parents, brothers and sisters for my evil deeds, evil thoughts or hurting words; please pardon me! Pardon me! Pardon me!
Fifth essential is of meditation of Soul without body and karmic blemishes. Ponder on precepts of Lord, sufferings of living beings, causes of happiness and unhappiness, arrangements in the universe, own aptitude for sermons, own aptitude for universal truth, solitariness of the Soul, transient nature of the mundane things, no shelter/refuge against death in the universe, etc. for the purification of the Soul.
Sixth essential is to take any vow by chanting namaskara mantra thrice keeping Lord Simandhara as witness. Oh Lord! I have completed the six essentials for the purification of my Soul; I beg your pardon for any mistakes committed by me
