Tristutik pratikaman vidhi
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
- Mangalik and Navkār
- Samāyik (enter equanimity)
- Chauvīsath (Chauvisantho)
- Vandana (to Guru)
- Pratikraman proper (introspection and repentance)
- Kāyotsarga (standing meditation)
- Pratyākhyān (resolve)
- Kṣamāpanā (seeking forgiveness)
- Mangal/Conclusion
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.

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.
