(Establish right hand on charvala or katasana) Bār māsānam, chovis pakkhānam,
tranaso saath rāi divasānam, Jam kinchi apattiam, para-pattiam;
bhatte, pāne; Vinae, veyāvachche; ālāve, samlāve;
uchchāsane, samāsane; Antara-bhāsāe, uvari-bhāsāe; jam kinchi majjha Vinaya-parihinam, suhumam vā, bāyaram vā;
Tubbhe jānaha, aham na jānāmi; Tassa michchhä mi dukkadam. (1)
O Guru Mahārāj! Please voluntarily give me permission to ask for your forgiveness for any wrong doing that I may have done to you during the year. (Guru Mahārāj now will say, “Please do so") I accept your permission. For 12 months, 24 fortnights, 360 mornings and evenings I beg for your pardon, for all the wrong doing that I may have committed during the year. I may have disrespected you or may not have taken proper care of you. I may have disrespected you by sitting at a higher level or at the same level as you. I may have interrupted you while you were talking, I may have talked back to you, or I may have tried to prove you wrong. I may have exhibited major or minor discourteousness to you, which I was not aware of but that you may be aware of. Now, therefore, I beg your forgiveness for all my wrong doings and wish that they might be undone.
