After an attempt at being a Jain for a day Jigar had sent me this beautiful piece of poetry:
——
Jai Jinendra:
Mitchami Dukkadam
The following is the prayer we say while doing
Pratikraman:
“KHAMEMI SAVVE JIVE,
SAVVE JIVA KHAMANTU ME
METTI ME SAVVE BHUYESU,
VERAM MAJAHAM N KENAI”
It means: “I forgive (from the bottom of my heart without any reservation) all living beings (who may have caused me any pain and suffering either in this life or previous lives), and
I beg (again from the bottom of my heart without any reservation) for the forgiveness from all living beings (no matter how small or big to whom I may have caused pain and suffering in this life or previous lives, knowingly or unknowingly, mentally, verbally or physically, or if I have asked or encouraged someone else to carry out such activities). (Let all creatures
know that) I have a friendship with everybody and I have no revenge (animosity or enmity) toward anybody.”
