Akkhoda i.e. forearm to fingers (1): Kudev, Kuguru, Kudharm Pariharu. [I discard wrong Dev, wrong Guru and wrong Dharm]
Pakkhoda: Fingers to forearm (2): Gyan, Darshan, Charitra Aadaru. [I accept right knowledge (Gyan), right faith (Darshan) and right conduct (Charitra)]
Akkhoda: forearm to fingers (2): Gyan Viradhana, Darshan Viradhana, Charitra Viradhana Pariharu. [I discard any disrespect or insolence towards true knowledge, faith and conduct]
Pakkhoda: Fingers to forearm (3): Man-Gupti, Vachan-Gupti, Kaay-Gupti Aadaru. [I accept restraint of mind, speech and bodily activities]
Akkhoda: forearm to fingers (3): Man-Dand, Vachan-Dand, Kaay-Dand Pariharu. [I discard inappropriate and impure activities of mind, speech and body]
