What are 99 atichar
There is no standard Jain scripture that lists “99 atichar.” In Jainism, atichar (अतिचार) means minor transgressions or violations that can occur while observing vows. Traditionally, for the main vows, classical texts describe a fixed set of atichars (often five per vow), not a universal 99-item list. Different Jain traditions (Digambar vs. Śvetāmbara) may describe slightly different examples or emphasis, but the core idea remains: atichar are smaller slips to be avoided and confessed through practices like samayik and pratikraman. You’ll find explanations of what qualifies as atichar for the common vows in traditional Jain guidance, rather than a single canonical “99 atichar” list. You can read more here .
