(Preparation for Meditation)
I do Kayotsarg, that is, foresake all activities by adopting a motionless
posture for repenting and achieving further purification, and for
nullifying and destroying my sins and Karmas, by remaining at one place
for uplifting of my blemished soul. Let my Kayotsarg be unbroken and
nonviolate from exceptions such as breathing in or out, coughing,
sneezing, yawning, burping, passing bodily gases, dizziness, vomiting
sensation, fainting, subtle bodily movements such as swallowing sputum, or
flickering of eyes, or by thieves, King, fire, fierce animals, etc. Until
I complete it by mentally reciting Navkar Pad to the Arihants, I will keep
my body steady at one place, in complete silence and meditation, and keep
away from all sinful activities. (Now stay in Kayotsarg for 25
respirations.)
