Meaning of the Sutra:
I wish to stand in meditation posture for whatever faults I may have committed during the day through my deeds, words, and thoughts.
For speaking against the scriptures, following a wrong path, performing unworthy and improper deed, ill meditated, ill conceived, immoral, undesirable and unbecoming acts for a layman.
In regard to knowledge, belief and conduct of a layman’s life, the scriptures, the equanimity (samayika), and whatever wrong doing I may have committed in respect to the three-fold restraint vows (guptis), four passions (kashayas), and the five minor vows (anuvratas).
In regard to three spiritual merit vows (gunavratas), four spiritual disciplinary vows (shikshavratas), the layman’s twelvefold rule of conduct that I may have broken or opposed. May those bad deeds of mine be forgiven and become fruitless.
Explanation: 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 (AnuVratas): These are non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, chastity and non-attachment.
2. Three spiritual vows of merit (GunaVratas): These are vow of limited area of activity (digvrata), vow of simplicity (bhogopabhoga) and vow of piety (anarthadanda). And
3. Four spiritual vows of discipline (ShikshaVratas): These are practice of equanimity (samayika), vow of additional confinement of every day activity (desavakashikaVrata), vow of fasting (posadhopavasa) and vow of charity (danaVrata).
Utility: In this sutra all evils are acknowledged publicly and the pardon is sought.
