Below is a simple, authentic way to perform Pratikraman at home. Steps and sutras are given in a short form, with the essential actions. I am giving both Shwetambar (Murtipujak) and Digambar flows, since they differ a little. Use the pronunciation you have learned from your guru or family.

General preparation (for both traditions)

• Time: Morning (Rāi) and Evening (Devāsī). Sit on a clean āsana in a quiet place.
• Sweep your sitting area gently (to avoid harming tiny beings) and sit in Padmāsana/Ardha-padma or on a firm chair if needed.
• Keep your mouth covered with muhpattī (Shwetambar) during sutra recitation if that is your practice.
• Maintain maitri (friendliness), dayā (compassion), and apramāda (alertness).
