Samvatsari Pratikramana
Lord, grant permission to recite 'Samvatsaari Sutra' permission
granted
(Recite three Navkar, and 'Vanditu Sutra')
Paying obeisance to the highly venerable five-fold hierarchy
Namo Arihantānam.
Namo Siddhānam. Namo Ayariyānam. Namo Uvajjhāyānam.
Namo loe savva-Sāhunam. Eso pancha-namukkāro, Savva-pāva-ppanāsano; Mangalānam cha savvesim, Padhamam havai
mangalam. (1) I bow to the Arihantas (Tirthankars), I bow to the Siddhas or liberated souls, I bow to the Acharyas, who head the order, I bow to the Upadhyays, who are the religious scholars and guides of the scriptures. I bow to all ascetics who strictly follow the five great vows of conduct and inspire us to live a simple life. True bowing to these five types of great souls, help remove all sins and create auspiciousness of the most supreme ovder.
Seeking pardon for all sins committed in one's conduct and in one's vows with an
overarching prayer to purify one's soul
Vandittu savva-siddhe, dhammäyarie a savva-sähu a.
Ichchhämi padikkamiu, sävaga-dhammäiärassa. (1)
Bowing to the Omniscient pathfinders (Tirthankaras) and
