प्रशस्त ध्यान वाले जीव को प्रतिक्रमण कहा है - The soul with auspicious meditation is repentance (pratikramana) -
मिच्छादसणणाणचरित्तं चइऊण णिरवसेसेण । सम्मत्तणाणचरणं जो भावइ सो पडिक्कमणं ॥११॥
जो (जीव) निरवशेष (सम्पूर्ण) रूप से मिथ्यादर्शन, मिथ्याज्ञान और मिथ्याचारित्र को छोड़कर, सम्यग्दर्शन, सम्यग्ज्ञान और सम्यक्चारित्र की भावना करता है, वह (जीव) प्रतिक्रमण है।
The soul – jīva – that entertains the disposition of the Three Jewels comprising right-faith, right-knowledge and right-conduct, leaving aside completely wrong-faith, wrong-knowledge and wrong-conduct, is repentance (pratikramana).
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The man who knows the Doctrine expounded in the Scripture. understands accordingly the nature of the all-knowing soul, puts faith in the objects of Reality, and observes proper restraint (samyama). He thus has the Three Jewels (ratnatraya). But, if the same man, at a certain time, entertains even infinitesimal infatuation (mūrcchā) for external objects like the body (śarīra), and thus fails to establish his soul in the experience of the pure soul-substance, he, for that period of time, does not shed his deluding karmas.1
The soul (jīva) established in the Three Jewels (ratnatraya) is said to observerepentance (pratikramana) continuously.
