    Satlakh jin sutra written

    12 months ago 107

    Here is the Sat Lakh (Saat Laakh) Jin Sutra text and its simple meaning.

    Original text (Hindi) सात लाख पृथ्वीकाय, सात लाख अप्काय, सात लाख तेउकाय, सात लाख वाउकाय, दस लाख प्रत्येक वनस्पतिकाय, चौदह लाख साधारण वनस्पतिकाय, दो लाख द्वींद्रिय, दो लाख त्रींद्रिय, दो लाख चउरिंद्रिय, चार लाख देवता, चार लाख नारकी, चार लाख तिर्यंच पंचेंद्रिय, चौदह लाख मनुष्य। एवं करके चौरासी लाख जीवयोनि में से मेरे जीव ने जो कोई जीव हिंसा की हो, कराई हो, करते हुए का अनुमोदन किया हो, उन सब का मन-वचन-काया से मिच्छा मि दुक्कडं।

    Transliteration (simple) Saat lakh Prithvikāya, Saat lakh Apkāya, Saat lakh Teukāya, Saat lakh Vāukāya, Das lakh Pratyek Vanaspatikāya, Chaudah lakh Sādhāran Vanaspatikāya, Do lakh Dvi-indriya, Do lakh Tri-indriya, Do lakh Chaur-indriya, Chār lakh Devatā, Chār lakh Nāraki, Chār lakh Tiryanch Panchendriya, Chaudah lakh Manushya. Evam karke chaurāsī lakh jīv-yoni mein se mere jīv ne jo koī jīv hiṁsā kī ho, karāī ho, karte hue kā anumodan kiyā ho, un sab kā man-vachan-kāyā se Micchhā mi dukkadam.

    Arth (meaning)

    • Jain agamas and tradition describe 8.4 million types of living beings (jīva-yoni).
    • In this sutra we remember those categories (earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, air-bodied, one-sensed plants—two kinds, two-/three-/four-sensed beings, heavenly beings, hell beings, five-sensed animals, and humans).
    • Then, with humility, we seek forgiveness for any harm we have done, caused others to do, or approved of—by mind, speech, or body—toward any of these beings. “Micchhā mi dukkadam” means “May my faults be fruitless; I ask forgiveness.”

    Tradition note

    • This sutra is widely recited in Śvetāmbara pratikraman during kṣamāpanā (asking forgiveness). Digambara tradition also accepts the doctrine of 8.4 million life-classes; wording and usage may vary by paddhati (ritual manual). It is a devotional/ritual recitation, not an Āgama-verse.
