Fifth partial Vow (Anuvrat): (Ichchhä Parimäna or Parigraha-Parimänvrata) - for Shrävaks
absolute renunciation of parigraha is not possible; he/she should lay limitations to the acquisition
and possession.
I might have violated the set limits to the accumulation of (1) kshetra -land or fields (2) västu -
houses (3) hiranya -gold coins (4) suvarna -gold (5) dhana -heads of cattle (6) dhänya -grains (7)
däsi -maidservants (8) däsa -male servants (9) kupya -clothes (10) shayyäsana - beds and furniture.
I might not have done business at a reasonable profit. I might have cheated to maintain the set
limits, or get to the set limits. While accumulating things, I might have not considered whether it is
moral or immoral, religious or irreligious, worth possessing or not, beneficial or harmful.
If I have indulged in any of the above faults or lapses by physical, verbal or mental activities,
directly or indirectly, then I pray that my such faults be dissolved. TASSA MICHCHHÄ MI
DUKKADAM.
