Samvatsari Pratikramana
271
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.
Paying obeisance to Lord and preceptor (with five organs of the body)
Ichchhämi khamä-samano! Vandium, jävanijjäe nisihiäe,
matthaena vandämi. (1)
'With all my devotion and by renouncing all wrongful acts, I bow down (to the Tirthankar's image or Ascetics).' (1)
