Samvatsari  (संवत्सरी) or  the last day of the Jain festival of Paryushan is a day reserved for seeking forgiveness. The tradition recognises that human beings make mistakes every day knowingly or unknowingly and  hence, sets aside a beautiful ritual for asking all beings to forgive their mistakes.

खामेमि सव्वे जीवा, सव्वे जीवा खमंतु मे|

मित्तिमे सव्व भुएस्‌ वैरं ममझं न केणई||

मिच्छामि दुक्कडम्|

मिथ्या मे दुष्कृताम्|

I ask forgiveness for all living beings. May all living beings grant me forgiveness. My friendship is with all living beings, My enmity is totally non-existent. Micchami Dukkhadam – Please forgive me for all my bad deeds.
