    Tristutik pratikaman vidhi

    12 months ago 166

    Here is a simple Tristutik (Śvetāmbara Mūrtipūjak, Rajendrasūri–revived paramparā) Pratikraman-vidhi. In this tradition the sequence follows the six Avashyak (essentials). Melodies/tunes may vary locally, but the sutras and intent remain the same.

    Daily Tristutik Pratikraman (Devāsī/Rāisi)

    • Preparations
    - Clean place, white clothes, sit facing north/east. - Inner resolve: do pratikraman with forgiveness, non‑violence, and truthfulness.

    • Mangalik and Navkār
    - Bow mentally to Arihant, Siddha, Āchārya, Upādhyāy, Sādhu; recite Namokār Mantra 3 times.
    • Samāyik (enter equanimity)
    - Take Samāyik vow (Ichchāmi samāiyaṁ/ichchāmi khamāsamaṇo as per your text). - Sit steady, cultivate sama-bhāva toward all jīvas.
    • Chauvīsath (Chauvisantho)
    - Remember the 24 Tīrthaṅkaras and their virtues.
    • Vandana (to Guru)
    - Offer reverence to sādhus-sādhvīs; perform guru-vandana as per local maryādā.
    • Pratikraman proper (introspection and repentance)
    - Iriyāvahiyā-sutra (repent faults done while moving/acting). - Tassa-uttari-karane/Annattha sutra (seek general forgiveness). - Khamemi savve jīvā / Savve jīvā khamamtu me (mutual forgiveness). - Alochanā (confession of specific atichār; speak softly, truthfully). - Pratikraman-sutra passages reflecting on 12 vows (anuvrat, guṇavrat, śikṣāvrat) and their transgressions.
    • Kāyotsarga (standing meditation)
    - Logassa (Pradakṣiṇa of 24 Tīrthaṅkaras through stuti) followed by quiet kāyotsarga. - Remain motionless, focus on the soul’s purity.
    • Pratyākhyān (resolve)
    - Take a firm, practical resolve to avoid earlier faults; limitations as per your capacity.
    • Kṣamāpanā (seeking forgiveness)
    - Michchhāmi Dukkaḍaṁ/Tassa Michchhāmi Dukkaḍaṁ with genuine remorse.
    • Mangal/Conclusion
    - Auspicious verses and universal well‑being (śānti/mangal pāṭh). End Samāyik and bow.

    Notes specific to Tristutik paramparā

    • The “Tri‑stutik” identity is historical within the Śvetāmbara Mūrtipūjak fold; the daily Pratikraman content remains the standard six‑Avashyak structure. Some local sanghs sing select stavans (e.g., Navkār-stavan, Logassa tune) per Rajendrasūri‑maryādā; keep the core sutras unchanged and intention pure.
    • Morning (Rāisi) reviews the night; Evening (Devāsī) reviews the day. Fortnightly (Pakṣik), Chaturmāsī, and annual (Saṁvatsarī) follow the same order, with longer kāyotsarga and added passages.

    If you need a ready outline or timing guidance, see:

    • Evening Pratikraman timing (Devāsī)

    Difference note (Śvetāmbara vs. Digambara)

    • Digambara Pratikraman shares the same spirit (six essentials) but uses some different sutrapāṭha and phrasing. If you follow Digambara texts, use their specific Alocanā/Pratikraman sutras and maryādā. A concise Digambara vidhi is here:

    Essence to preserve

    • Do it with apramatta (alertness), honesty in alochanā, real inner kṣamā, and a doable pratyākhyān. The purity of bhāva is more important than speed or musical style.
