"Karemi Bhante Sutra' is recited to take the vow of Sāmāyika. Sāmāyika means equanimity. In essence, the person follows the five great vows of conduct for the duration of Sāmāyika. Also one decides not to do or promote any sin by thought, word or deed. During the duration of Sāmāyika (48 min), one should do meditation, Pratikraman, or religious study, and otherwise recite Namaskār Sutra continuously in silence. One should not attend to or think of any worldly matters.
