    Full sutra of vadittu in english

    one year ago 77

    The "Vadittu" sutra is a Jain prayer or recitation commonly used in the context of Pratikraman (a Jain ritual of repentance). There are different versions depending on the Jain sect (Shwetambar or Digambar). The word "Vadittu" itself means "having spoken ill" or "having abused," and the sutra is a confession of having committed faults through speech.

    Here is the commonly recited English transliteration and translation of the "Vadittu" sutra as found in the Shwetambar Jain Pratikraman:

    Transliteration: Vadittu micchami dukkaḍam — vadittā me savva pāvā ya dukkaḍā ya, micchāmi dukkaḍam.

    English Translation: Having spoken ill, I ask forgiveness for all sins and faults that I may have committed by speech. I seek forgiveness for all these faults.

    Or, sometimes, a more detailed version is recited:

    Original Prakrit: Vadittū micchāmi dukkadam. Vadittā me savvapāvā ya dukkadā ya, micchāmi dukkadam.

    Translation: If I have spoken ill or used harsh words, I ask forgiveness for all sins and faults committed by speech. I seek forgiveness for all these faults.

    If you are seeking a longer or full version as recited in the Pratikraman, it is often grouped with other sutras (like "Kāyotsarga" and "Samayika") and not a standalone lengthy text. The core essence remains the confession and seeking of forgiveness for faults committed by speech.

    If you need the full sequence as recited in a specific sect's Pratikraman (Shwetambar or Digambar), please clarify, and I can provide that particular version.
