ťassa  Michchhaami ďukkadam

may my such sins be dissolved

Seventh vow (Second Gunvrat) is concerned with putting restriction to the amount and number of articles which can be used and also re-used.
I, vow to restrict the number of towels, napkins used to wipe the body, restrict the number of  Datan used to brush the teeth,  restrict the consumption of fruits; limit the use of oils, lotions, Pithi (tumeric paste), quantum of Bathing water; use restricted stock of garments; limited cosmetics, flowers, ornaments, incense material; restrict the consumption of Beverages, sweets, variety of grains, pulses, nutrients (like ghee, oil, jaggery, milk, curds), green vegetables, sweet fruits and the number of items in the diet. Also to consume limited quantum of water, mouth-freshners.
I, vow also to restrict the number of vehicles, footwear, beds, mattresses; to use animate things (fruits with seeds, unboiled water, etc) in restricted quantity and also such other things.
By one act (I will not do) and by three means (mind, speech and body), I forbid myself as long as I live, to consume or use such and other things which are mentioned, in excess of the set limits.
For Shravak, related to meals and trade, of such two types it is said as follows :
Regarding meals, there are five blemishes which are worth knowing but not worth doing, I say them as they are :

  1. Consumption of animate things
  2. Use of inanimate thing, but that which is adherent to other animate thing
  3. Consumption of something which is partially cooked
  4. Consumption of something which is cooked in a cruel way
  5. Consumption of something in which there is less to eat and more to discard (like sugar-cane, custard-apple).

Then, the fifteen sinful trades, for Shravak which are worth knowing, but not worth doing are as follows :

  1. Trades in which furnaces are used  (Blacksmith)
  2. Trades in which trees are cut (Timber-trade)
  3. Trade in fermented goods  (Liquor trade)
  4. Earn by way of rent  (for carts, horses or houses)
  5. Earth-digging trades (construction of wells, lakes etc)
  6. Trade in ivory, bones, horns etc.
  7. Trade in fur
  8. Trade in liquor, meat, honey, butter, fat etc.
  9. Trade in sealing wax
  10. Trade in poisonous and toxic substances (poison, opium etc)
  11. To manufacture things by the process of crushing (sugar, oil)
  12. Torture animals by piercing limbs
  13. To set fire to forests, fields etc
  14. To empty lakes, wells, ponds
  15. To support slavery, wicked men, carnivorous animals for earning livelihood

If any of thesse have been committed, then may my such sins be dissolved and pardoned.
