52 Exposition of Pratikramana StotrasExplanation: This sutra is to be addressed to only high-rankingmonks and not to any ordinary monk. Here a layperson confessesand asks for forgiveness for any violations he or she my havecommitted while paying respect to the spiritual preceptor. Thereare thirty-three failures (äshätanäs) towards expression ofreverence, but in short following are the three main divisions ofunholy acts:1. Most conspicuous (utkrusta)-those concerned with actionscontrary to the preceptor‟s command.2. Conspicuous (madhyama)-those referring to defilement of anyimpurities.3. Least conspicuous (jaghanya)-those concerned with touchingthe feet or other limbs of the preceptor.Shri Haribhadra Suri has defined Vandanä as the foundation of thereligion (dharma pratimulbhutä vandanä). The advantages ofpaying respect are: politeness (vinaya), modesty (män-bhanga),worshiping the spiritual preceptors (guru jana ni pujä), worship theHoly Writ (shruta dharma ni ärädhanä) and the ultimate release(siddhi pada).31.
