    As a follow up to the below question on Kausagg, are Tass uteri Karnenam verse and anath also to be recited after iryavahim sutra? If yes, please give the full sequence including intention

    Answer

    Yes — in the common Śvetāmbara Jain practice, after Iryāvahī Sutra you next recite Tassottari Karaṇeṇaṃ and then Annattha before beginning kāyotsarga.

    Explanation

    The usual sequence is:
    1. Iryāvahī Sutra

    - Recited to seek forgiveness for any harm caused while walking or moving.

    1. Tassottari Karaṇeṇaṃ

    - This is said with the intention of purification. - Meaning: “By this corrective act, may my faults be purified and removed.”

    1. Annattha

    - This is the opening of kāyotsarga. - It means that, except for unavoidable necessities, one lets go of all bodily movement and enters stillness.

    1. Kāyotsarga

    - Remain still and do the prescribed mantra-japa, usually Navkār Mantra as per your tradition or booklet.

    Intention

    Keep these bhāvanā in mind:
    • Iryāvahī: “I seek forgiveness for any injury caused through movement.”
    • Tassottari: “May this fault be cleansed through repentance and correction.”
    • Annattha: “Now I enter stillness, leaving aside all voluntary bodily activity.”
    • Kāyotsarga: “I remain absorbed in pure remembrance and inner purification.”

    Takeaway

    So yes, the flow is generally:

    Iryāvahī Sutra → Tassottari Karaṇeṇaṃ → Annattha → Kāyotsarga

    If you want, I can also give you the exact chant sequence as used in pratikraman in a clean step-by-step format.
