    Answer

    Devasiya Pratikraman is the evening repentance and self-purification practice done for faults committed during the day.

    Sorry, I can only provide information that is clearly established within Jain tradition. Since the exact step-by-step sutra-vidhi can differ by Jain tradition, gaccha, sect, language, and local guru-parampara, it is best to follow the Pratikraman book or audio taught by your own Guru, Upashray, Pathshala, or Sangh.

    General Order Followed in Devasiya Pratikraman

    A commonly followed structure is:

    • Preparation – Wash hands/feet, wear clean clothes, sit respectfully in a clean place.
    • Samayik Bhav – Enter a calm and detached state of mind.
    • Guru Vandana – Bowing with humility to Guru and accepting spiritual discipline.
    • Pratikraman – Repenting for wrong thoughts, words, and actions committed during the day.
    • Alochana – Inner confession of mistakes.
    • Pratyakhyan – Taking a vow to avoid such faults again.
    • Kausagga – Meditative stillness and detachment from the body.
    • Chaitya Vandana / Stuti – Devotional remembrance of Arihant Bhagwan and Tirthankars.
    • Kshamapana – Asking forgiveness from all living beings.
    • Mangalik / Completion – Ending with auspicious reflection and peaceful intent.

    Important Note

    The full sutra sequence may include sacred texts such as:

    • Navkar Mantra
    • Iriyavahiyam
    • Tassa Uttari
    • Annattha
    • Logassa
    • Karemi Bhante
    • Ichchhami Khamasamano
    • Abbhutthio
    • Vandittu
    • Pratikraman Sutras
    • Khamemi Savva Jive

    But I should not give a “full exact sutra-vidhi” unless the exact tradition is clear, because sacred sutras must be preserved accurately.

    Takeaway

    For Devasiya Pratikraman, please follow the exact vidhi from your Jain tradition and Guru-parampara. The heart of the practice is sincere repentance, forgiveness, awareness, and the resolve to live with more ahimsa, samyam, and purity.
