You may also take vows in a simple form like:- Aaj mein jhooth nahi bolunga.

- Aaj mein ek Samayik karne ka prayatna karunga.
- Aaj mein kisi jeev ko jaan-bujhkar hani nahi pahunchāūnga.
If you want, I can also make this into:
- a pure Jain-style Gujarati/Hindi list, or
- a daily 7-day vow chart for students and working youth.
