Full logged to recite in samvatsari oratikaman ?
Samvatsari oratikaman (Samvatsari Pratikraman) is the annual rite of asking forgiveness and purifying the mind, speech, and body. The exact full text (sutras and stavan) is long and varies a bit between Digambar and Shvetambar traditions. I can’t paste the entire log here, but here is a simple, clear guide to what is normally recited and in what order, so you can recite correctly. If you want, I can share the exact sutra lines for your specific tradition.
What is usually recited in Samvatsari Pratikraman (overview)
- Manglik (prologue)
- Vandana (reverence to holy beings and teachers)
- Samayik preparation and meditation
- Pratikraman proper (confession and repentance)
- Kshama (forgiveness)
- Concluding prayers and closing
Key notes
- The wording and exact sutras can differ slightly between Shvetambar and Digambar communities, and even among regional sanghs. The spirit remains the same: sincere confession, forgiveness, and vow to improve.
- If you need the exact line-by-line text for your tradition, tell me whether you follow Shvetambar (Murtipujak, in temples with idols) or Digambar, and I can provide the precise sutra names and their arth (meaning).
- For practical study, many readers use a paddhati (pratikraman guide) approved by their local sangh, which lists the sutras and the order with translations.
