Answer

The phrase you wrote — “Annatha Ussasiyenam” — is from the Jain repentance and forgiveness prayer tradition, especially connected with Pratikraman.

A commonly understood meaning is:

“If, through breathing or otherwise, I have caused harm to living beings, I ask forgiveness.”

Word-by-Word Meaning

• Annatha / Anyathā — otherwise, in another way, unintentionally, unknowingly
• Ussasiyenam / Ucchvāsenam — by breathing out, by exhalation, through breath

So, “Annatha Ussasiyenam” indicates harm that may have happened unknowingly or unintentionally through breathing.

Explanation

In Jain Dharma, even very tiny living beings are respected. While breathing, walking, eating, drinking, speaking, or doing daily activities, a person may unknowingly cause harm to minute living beings.

This sutra helps the soul develop:

• Awareness of even subtle forms of violence
• Humility by accepting that mistakes may happen unknowingly
• Repentance for harm caused to living beings
• Carefulness in future conduct

Spiritual Understanding

The deeper message is not fear, but compassion and alertness. Jain Dharma teaches that a seeker should become sensitive even to the smallest form of himsa.

By saying this sutra, one reflects:

• “May I not harm any living being knowingly.”
• “May I become more careful in body, speech, and mind.”
• “May my soul move toward purity, forgiveness, and non-violence.”

Takeaway

“Annatha Ussasiyenam” reminds us that Jain spiritual life is based on deep awareness, repentance, and compassion for all living beings, even those we cannot see.
