Here are simple, respectful Micchami Dukkadam messages you can use or adapt for gratitude and forgiveness during Paryushan or on any upliftment day:

Option 1 — Very short Micchāmi Dukkadam. If I have hurt you in thought, word, or deed, please forgive me.

Option 2 — Gentle, inclusive Micchāmi Dukkadam. May all beings be free from pain and bondage. If I have caused you any hurt, knowingly or unknowingly, please forgive me.

Option 3 — Slightly formal Micchāmi Dukkadam. I seek forgiveness for any harm I may have caused through my actions, words, or thoughts. May you grant me the same.

Option 4 — Warm and personal (shareable on cards or messages) Dear [Name], Micchāmi Dukkadam. I humbly ask for your forgiveness for any mistakes or hurt I may have caused you, whether by intention or ignorance. May you be well, and may I be better.

Option 5 — For a group or community message Micchāmi Dukkadam to everyone. If I have caused any of you pain or distress, please forgive me. I wish peace, safety, and happiness for all.

If you’d like, tell me the tone (formal, casual, devotional) and the recipient (family, friend, mentor, community) and I’ll tailor a version just for you.
