    Full logged to recite in samvatsari oratikaman ?

    12 months ago 56

    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)
    - Navkar Mantra (Namokar) and a brief bow to the fivefold revered names.
    • Vandana (reverence to holy beings and teachers)
    - Iriyavahiyam Sutra and Tassasutta Sutra (salutations to Jineshwars, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and all sadhus).
    • Samayik preparation and meditation
    - A short Sāmāyik or setup phase, with posture and focus on non-violence and right conduct.
    • Pratikraman proper (confession and repentance)
    - Khamemi Savve Jiva Sutra (confess harming all beings; seek forgiveness) - Logassa/Sutras (praising the 24 Tirthankaras) and related lines - Alochana (confession of faults, mind and speech) - Pratikraman Sutra (comprehensive confession and repentance) - Pratyakhyan (renewed vow to avoid faults in the future)
    • Kshama (forgiveness)
    - Michchāmi Dukkaḍaṁ (Micchami Dukkadama) – request forgiveness from all beings
    • Concluding prayers and closing
    - Manglik sutra set or similar auspicious prayers - Optional: Uvasaggaharam Stotra or other stavan, then a closing prayer - Navkar Stavan and final prayers to conclude

    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.
