    Khartargach pratikamanan sutra

    12 months ago 121

    Kharṭāragaçcha Pratikramaṇ (Kharataragachha Pratikraman) is a Jain ritual text used for daily repentance. It is recited to confess and atone for faults committed knowingly or unknowingly, often at the end of the day or during the Paryushan/association with the monastic community.

    Key points:

    • Purpose: to reflect on one’s conduct, ask for forgiveness, and renew vows to live more purely.
    • Who recites: traditionally observed in the Digambar and Śvetāmbara communities, with the Kharataragaccha lineage (a prominent Digambar monastic order) having its own established version of the Pratikramaṇ.
    • Variations: there are differences between Digambar and Śvetāmbara recensions, and within the Kharataragaccha tradition itself, in wording and sequence, while the spiritual aim remains the same—to cultivate humility, restraint, and self-purification.

    If you’d like, I can provide:

    • The original text of the Kharataragachha Pratikramaṇ as it appears in a specific tradition, or
    • A concise translation and gloss of the key verses, or
    • A note on how it is observed differently in Digambara vs. Śvetāmbara practice.
