Ten days
festival Jain celebrates;
Self
purification is the agenda.
Rededication to
dharma is the goal.
Human is the
incarnation of Atman.
The resolution
made in the first day
Is to shun
pride, which leads to immodesty.
The resolution
in the second day
Is to observe
honesty and righteousness.
The third day
observed resolution
Is to be
truthful to fellow beings.
The fourth day
observed resolution
Is to obtain
freedom from defilement.
On the fifth
day the observation
Is to practice
abstinence everyday.
On the sixth
day, the observation
Is to do
penance to grow a hermit.
The adoption
made in the seventh day
Is to
relinquish by way of charity.
The adoption
made in the eighth day
Is to have
limit on worldly possession.
Maintaining
chaste and moral behavior
And forgiving
and seeking forgiveness
Fall as ninth
and tenth day deliberations.
Atman thus
prepares to reach Nirvana.
