Meaning
Karemi Bhante Sutra English Meaning
Venerable one, I undertake samayika (equanimity), and I renounce all sinful activity. For as long as I keep this vow, in two ways and by three means — mind, speech and body — I will neither commit sin nor cause it to be committed. Venerable one, I turn back from my past sins, I condemn them within myself, I confess them before the guru, and I give up that sinful self.
अर्थ
Karemi Bhante Sutra Hindi Meaning
हे भगवन् (पूज्य)! मैं सामायिक करता हूँ और सावद्य (पापयुक्त) प्रवृत्ति का त्याग करता हूँ। जब तक मैं इस नियम की उपासना करूँ, तब तक दो प्रकार से और तीन योगों से — मन, वचन और काया से — न पाप करूँगा, न करवाऊँगा। हे भगवन्! पहले किए गए पापों से मैं पीछे हटता हूँ, आत्म-साक्षी से उनकी निंदा करता हूँ, गुरु-साक्षी से गर्हा करता हूँ और उस पापमय आत्म-भाव का त्याग करता हूँ।

Significance
Karemi Bhante Sutra Significance
Karemi Bhante is the vow of samayika: for a fixed period (traditionally one muhurta of 48 minutes) the practitioner renounces all sinful activity, neither doing nor causing it, by mind, speech or body. It is the first chapter of the Avashyaka Sutra and is heard from the guru, or recited oneself, to begin every Samayik; the same pledge is taken in paushadha and, for life, at monastic initiation. Sthanakvasi books name the duration ('muhuttam') and add 'manasa vayasa kayasa' after 'na karemi na karavemi'.
