Below is a simple, step‑by‑step flow of Pratikraman as done in the Jain Shwetambar Shraman Sangh (for a lay follower; Devasi/evening format). Names of core sutras are given so you can follow along with your local Pratikraman pustak. Sequence can vary slightly by upashray/acharya-varga, but this preserves the traditional intent.

1) Shuddhi and Sthapana

• Clean place, simple clean clothes, sit facing a pure direction.
• Keep mind steady, recall the Panch Parmeshthi (Navkar Bhavana).

2) Pravesh into Samayik

• Navkar Mantra (3 times).
• Take samayik with “Icchāmi Khamāsamaṇo” and sit in equanimity.

3) Īriyā Vahiyāe (Iryāpathik) Sutra

• Repent for any harm caused while moving, sitting, standing, etc.

4) Tassa Uttari Karana

• Further atonement for faults due to inattentive actions of body, speech, mind.

5) Annattha (Anatthi) or related pratikraman opening sutras

• Readiness for self‑examination and repentance.

6) Ālochana (Confession)

• Aloud or mentally, confess lapses in vratas and daily conduct; many Shraman Sangh pustaks use Vandittu/Ālochana path here.
• Cultivate genuine remorse (garha) and humility.

7) Pratikraman (Repentance)

• Recite the Pratikraman sutras for day’s transgressions.
• Reflect on papasthān (sources of sin) and samiti/gupti (carefulness and restraints).

8) Kāyotsarga (Standing Meditation)

• Stand still, withdraw identification with the body, focus on the soul’s purity.

9) Pratyākhyān (Resolve)

• Take fresh resolve to avoid specific faults going forward (as per your capacity).

10) Kshamāpanā

• “Khamemi Savve Jīvā; Savve Jīvā Khamantu Me. Mittī Me Savva Bhūesu, Veram Majjha Na Kenai.”
• Say “Micchāmi Dukkaḍaṃ” with heartfelt forgiveness.

11) Mangal Paath / Manglik

• Offer auspicious benediction, salute Panch Parmeshthi, and pray for sarva‑jīva kalyān.

12) Visarjan of Samayik

• Properly disengage from samayik with “Icchāmi Khamāsamaṇo.”

Notes and tradition points

• This outline reflects the Shwetambar Shraman Sangh lay‑pratikraman flow; the exact text set and order of sutras can differ by acharya‑paramparā and local pustak.
• Digambar Pratikraman has a different sutra‑set and sequence; do not mix texts across traditions.
• The spiritual essence is: samayik (equanimity), ālochana (confession), pratikraman (repentance), pratyākhyān (fresh resolve), kāyotsarga (detached meditation), and universal forgiveness.
