Here is a simple Jain vow (vrat) for Parigrah / Aparigraha that you can actually use in daily life.

1. Short English Vow (Pratyakhyan)

“I take a vow of Aparigraha. According to my capacity, I will limit my possessions and desires. I will not collect or buy more than I really need, and I will reduce attachment to money, things, and comforts. If I break this vow by greed or unnecessary collection, I will realize my mistake, ask forgiveness, and try not to repeat it.”

2. Simple Hindi Vow

“Main Aparigrah ka vrat grahan karta/karti hoon. Apni shakti ke anusaar samaan aur sukh‑sadhano ko simit rakhunga/rakhungi. Jitni vastuoṅ ki vastav mein jarurat hai, us se adhik jama karne se bachunga/bachungi. Dhan, ghar, kapde, mobile, aadi ke prati apna moh kam karunga/karoongi. Yadi lobh se is vrat ka ullanghan ho jaye, to main apni bhool maan kar, kshama maang kar, dobara na dohraane ka sankalp karoonga/karoongi.”

3. Very Practical Form (for householders – Anuvrat style)

You can also make it very specific, like:

• “I will keep only X pairs of clothes, not more.”
• “I will not buy new gadgets until this date / this need comes.”
• “I will give away at least one useful item every month to someone in need.”

Turn this into a vow:

“From today, I fix a limit on my possessions (Parigrah‑Pariman): I will keep only … (write your numbers/limits here). Beyond this limit, I will not keep or buy more, instead I will donate extra things to the needy.”

This is in line with the Aparigraha Anuvrat (Sthula Parigraha‑Viramana) taught for shravaks/shravikas. You can read more about the twelve vows of a layperson (including Aparigraha Anuvrat) here:
