b) Ask Guruji's permission to end the Sāmāyika vow by saying the following.
इच्छाकारेण संदिसह भगवन् ! सामायिक पारुं ? यथाशक्ति.
Meaning: Oh! Forgiving Gurudev, May I have your kind permission to conclude the Samayika? If a guruji is there, then he/she will respond to your request by saying, "Puno vi Kayavvama", meaning, "one should perform Sämäyika as often as one can". The aspirant responds by saying "I will definitely do Sämäyika as per my capacity."
इच्छाकारेण संदिसह भगवन् ! सामायिक पार्यु ? तहत्ति.
5.4. Ending of Sämäyika
Ichchhäkärēna Sandisaha Bhagavan! Sämäyika Pärum? Yathasakti.
Meaning: Oh! Forgiving Gurudve, May I complete the Sämäyika? If a guru is there, then he will respond by saying. Ayärö na Mottavvo, meaning, "you should not forget the spiritual experience of Sämäyika." The aspirant responds back by saying, "I will do that". Notice the mutual respect and honor that exists between a guruji and the aspirant.

Recite this Paragraph: There are 10 faults of mind, 10 faults of speech and 12 faults of body. If I have indulged in any of these 32 faults or lapses by physical, verbal or mental activities, directly or indirectly, then I pray that my faults be dissolved. Tassa Michchhami Dukkadam. (For details of these faults please refer to Reference 3.)

d) Recite one Navakāra Mantra wihle keeping an open right palm in front of your face. This is symbolic of the withdrawal of the attributes that were supposed to have been assumed in the Sthapanächärya, which is the guruji's seat.
