Asking for forgiveness for any violations committed against the 12 vows of a householder. This is the desire to confess the violations committed, knowingly or unknowingly, against the 12 fold vows of a layman, by recitation of a short prayer of confession. The twelve vows of a layperson are: 1. Five minor vows (Anu Vratas): These are partial non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, chastity and non-attachment. 2. Three spiritual vows of merit (Guna Vratas): These are vow of limiting area of activity (dig pariman vrata), vow of simplicity (bhogopabhoga parimān) and vow of avoidance of purposeless sin (anarthadanda viraman). And 3. Four spiritual vows of discipline (Shiksha Vratas): These include the practice of quanimity (sāmāyika), the vow of additional confinement of every day activity esāvakāshika Vrata), the vow of living an ascetic life for a limited duration (posadhopavāsa) and the vow of charity (dāna Vrata).

સમસ્ત જીવરાશિ પ્રતિ થયેલા હિંસા દોષ સ્વરૂપ પ્રથમ પાપ સ્થાનકની વિસ્તારથી આલોચના
Repentance of Sins to all Living Beings Sāta lākha pruthvikāya, sāta lakha apkāya, Sāta lākha teukāya, Sāta lākha vāukāya,
Dasa lākha pratyeka vanaspati-kāya, Chauda lākha sādhārana vanaspati-kāya, Be lākha dvindriya, Be lākha trindriya,
Be lākha chaurindriya, Chāra lākha devatā, Chāra lākha nāraki, Chāra lākha tiryancha panchendriya,
Chauda lākha manusya-- Evamkāre chaurāsi lākha jivā-yoni māthi
Mare jiva je koi jiva-hanyo hoy, Hanāvyo hoi, hanata pratye anumodyo hoi, Te savi hun mana-vachana-kāyāthi
Michchhä mi dukkadam. (1)
