Answer

Yes, “Karemi Bhante” is generally not counted among the Shashwat Sutras.

It is an important Pratikraman / Pratyakhyan sutra, used especially for taking vows or renunciations, but it is not usually listed as one of the Shashwat Sutras.

Explanation

Shashwat Sutras are considered eternal or universally recurring sutras in Jain tradition. Common examples include sacred formulas such as:

• Navkar Mantra
• Logassa Sutra
• Namuthunam Sutra
• Javanti Chei Ayim Sutra

“Karemi Bhante” is a vow-taking sutra. It begins with the devotee respectfully addressing the Guru and declaring a commitment, such as renouncing certain faults or accepting a discipline.

It is very sacred and widely used, but its function is different from the sutras traditionally called Shashwat Sutras.

Spiritual Understanding

“Karemi Bhante” is spiritually powerful because it expresses:

• humility before the Guru,
• acceptance of discipline,
• renunciation of sinful activity,
• and commitment to self-purification.

So, even though it is not generally classified as a Shashwat Sutra, it remains highly important in Jain practice.

Takeaway

“Karemi Bhante” is not usually considered a Shashwat Sutra; it is a sacred vow-taking sutra used in Jain observance and Pratikraman.
