124
Logassa Sutra (9B)
The attributes of the Lords are superb.
They cannot be compared with any worldly
aspect.
This stanza tries to find something that
can be comparable to Lords’ attributes but
does not come across anything.
For instance, the Lords are immaculately pure.
In worldly terms, the moon is considered a
symbol of purity, but its purity is not comparable to
that of the Lords.

125
Logassa Sutra (9C)
Similarly, the sun is the symbol of
brightness and sea of the serenity.
But that brightness or serenity can not be
compared with that of Lords.
It is therefore said here that the Lords are
purer than the moon, brighter than the sun
and more serene than the ocean. 

126
Karemi Bhante (10)
Object: To achieve natural state of asceticism
Sutra 10- Sutra 10- Pachchkkhäna Sutra
Taking of vows of Taking of vows of sämäyika
Recitation of this sutra is the beginning of
sämäyika. Sämäyika is an exercise to attain (aya)
the equanimity or tranquility of mind (sama).
It is a process by which activities of mind,
speech and body become one with the soul
with cessation of harmful activities and
concentration on pious activity.

127
Karemi Bhante (10A)
All the six essential duties in a very subtle
way are included in this verse (sutra).
Performing meditation (sämäyika) is the first
necessary duty, the word “Bhante” in first verse
represents adoration of 24 Tirthankaras (second
duty), the word “Bhante” in last verse represents
respect (vandanä) to the monks (third duty),
repentance of past sins is atonement or
pratikramana (fourth duty).

128
Karemi Bhante (10B)
To cast aside the sinful soul is
Käyotsarga (fifth duty) and not to commit
the sinful activities in future is
pratyäkhyäna (the sixth duty).
While performing sämäyika a householder is
in reality practicing the asceticism for a
period of 48 minutes.

129
Karemi Bhante (10-1)
I take the vow of refraining from all undesirable
activities (pratyäkhyäna). Oh Lord! I will worship
you for the duration of meditation (Sämäyika).

130
Karemi Bhante (10-2)
as I adhere to equanimity by two methods
(will not do & not make others do) and three
medias (with three-fold activities of mind,
speech, and body).

131
Karemi Bhante (10-3)
Neither shall I commit sinful acts nor cause
others to do so by mind, speech and body.
Oh! Revered one, I introspect such sinful act,
I loathe and dissociate my soul with the
witness of preceptor from such acts.

132
Karemi Bhante (10a)
Karemi Bhante! I perform, Oh respected lords
Sämäiyam, The Sämäyika
Sävajjam Jogam all sinful acts Pachcha
kkhämi, I vow to abandon

133
Karemi Bhante (10b)
Pachcha kkhämi, I vow to abandon
Jäva Niyamam till my vows last
Pajjuvasämi, I worship you (Oh ! Lord)

134
Karemi Bhante (10c)
Duvihenam, by two acts
Tivihenam. And three means
Manenam, by mind
Väyäe, by speech
Käyenam, by body

135
Karemi Bhante (10d)
Nä Karemi,I will not do
Nä Käravemi,I will not get it done
Tassa from these sins
Bhante! Oh reverend Lords

136
Karemi Bhante (10e)
Padikkamämi,I refrain
Nindämi, I censure (the sins)
Garihämi, even more so in presence of
my guru
Appänam My soul
Vosirämi. I vow to keep away sinful activities.

137
Karemi Bhante (10C)
Karemi Bhante is a very vital Sutra.
Every word of it is significant and should be
properly understood.
Its importance is rated very high.
Equanimity is the essence of Jainism and
Sämäyika is to be performed for cultivating the
equanimity.
