Alochana Path (Alochana Paath) is a Jain prayer of confession and self-purification recited mainly during Pratikraman (self-reflection and repentance).

Core meaning (arth):

• Alochana = confession or self-admission of faults, both seen and unseen.
• The path/pathak is a formal act of reflecting on one’s misdeeds, confessing them, and seeking forgiveness from the Tirthankaras (Jinas), guru, and all living beings.
• It expresses remorse and a vow to purify the mind and to avoid those faults in the future.
• It is commonly observed during daily Pratikraman, Samayik, or the annual Samvatsari Pratikraman in Paryushana.

Notes:

• The exact wording can differ between Digambar and Shwetambar traditions, but the essential aim remains the same: confession, repentance, and renewed commitment to right conduct.
