How to end a pratikraman samayik vidhi
In Jainism, the Pratikraman Samayik Vidhi is a spiritual practice involving reflection, repentance, and meditation. Ending a Pratikraman Samayik follows a traditional sequence to properly conclude the ritual with reverence. Here is the customary way to end the Pratikraman Samayik Vidhi:
- Kshamapana (Asking Forgiveness): Recite the Kshamapana Sutra or say "Michhami Dukkadam" (May all the evil that has been done be fruitless), asking forgiveness from all living beings for any harm caused knowingly or unknowingly.
- Ucchhvas (Disengagement from Samayik): Chant the Icchāmi Khamāsamano three times, expressing the wish to conclude the Samayik.
- Mangalik (Auspicious Benediction): Recite the Manglik prayer, which includes:
- Namo Arihantanam - Namo Siddhanam - Namo Ayariyanam - Namo Uvajjhayanam - Namo Loe Savva Sahunam
- Prarthana (Prayer for Well-being): Offer prayers for the well-being of all beings and for one's spiritual progress.
- Pradakshina and Vandana: Perform pradakshina (circumambulation) if possible, and vandana (bowing) to the Panch Parmesthi (five supreme beings).
- Samayik Pachchakhān (Renunciation Statement): If any pachchakhān (vows) were taken specifically for the duration of Samayik, formally end them as per tradition.
Example closing lines (in Prakrit/Sanskrit and English):
- Icchāmi samāiyā vippamokkham
- Khamemi savva jīve, savve jīvā khamantu me
- Michchhāmi Dukkadam
Note: The exact sequence and sutras may vary among Jain sects (Shwetambar, Digambar, etc.), so it's best to follow the tradition of your community or consult your Jain spiritual guide.
