Samvatsari Pratikramana
17
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.
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)
