Pratikraman 99 Atichar refers to a list of ninety-nine minor transgressions (atikhar/atikraman) that are confessed and atoned for during the Pratikraman ritual. These are subtle faults that can occur while observing the vows (vratas) and related restraints. The aim is to purify conduct, reduce karmic bondage, and strengthen resolve to follow the path more strictly in the future. The exact enumeration can vary a little between Digambar and Śvētāmbara traditions, but the core idea is consistent: acknowledge small lapses of body, speech, and mind and seek forgiveness.

Key points:

• Atichar = minor transgression or lapse in the observance of vows and restraints.
• Pratikraman includes confessing these along with other purifications to regain spiritual clarity.
• Different Jain communities may list or phrase the 99 Atichars slightly differently, but the practice and purpose remain the same.
