Meaning:

Oh Forgiving Gurudev !  I will meditate, worship, and repent for my sins, or study

religious scriptures for the duration of Samayika.

I also take the vow of refraining from all wrongful activities.

With the two-fold activities; I will not do and I will not make others do any wrongful 

activities.

With three-fold activities of mind, speech, and body, I will not overlook any wrongful activities.

Oh respected Guruji!  I give up all harmful activities of my mind, my speech, and my

body.  I criticize myself for my wrongful actions.  I express disapproval of my de-

merits.I am determined to free myself from worldly bondage.
