Alochana Stotra (confession prayer) is a Pratikraman component used in Jainism to acknowledge faults, seek forgiveness, and renew vows to avoid repeating mistakes. In Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions there are small textual and sequence differences, but the core purpose remains the same: confess, purify, and recommit on the path.

Key points for Digambar recitation:

• Purpose: confess mind, speech, and body transgressions; seek forgiveness from Tirthankaras, Gurus, and all beings; renew vows to improve.
• Practice focus: humility, restraint, and inner resolve to follow right conduct.
• Typical timing: done during daily Pratikraman, with emphasis during Das‑Lakshana observance in Digambar practice and around special occasions.

Note on variation:

• Digambar and Śvetāmbara versions differ in exact words and order. If you want the precise Digambar text in a specific language (Sanskrit/Prakrit or vernacular), I can provide that exact form for the tradition you follow.
