4.3. Muhapatti Padilehan Procedure
(Before you start Sāmāyika for the first time, learn the physical process of Muhapatti Padilehan from a more experienced person. We will not go into the details of the significance of this process. One may refer to Reference 3.) a) Recite the following Khamāsamaņa while bowing down.
Ichchhāmi Khamā - Samāno! Vamhiyam
Jāvanijjāē Nisihiyāē ? Matthēna Vandāmi b) Now the aspirant seeks permission for Muhpatti Padilehan by saying the following, and then performs
Muhapatti Padilehan.
SECRU HICHE 91199! HTHIRTS HEYffects? G.
Ichchhākārēņa Sandisaha Bhagavan ! Sāmāyika Muhapatti Padilēhum ? Ichchham.
Meaning : Oh ! Forgiving Gurudev, May I have your kind permission to perform the Muhapatti Padilehan ? If a Guruji is present, he/she will say, "yes you may". The aspirant will respond by saying "Ichchham (Ichham)”. That means, thank you kindly for grating my wish”. This explanation of "Ichham” is not repeated in the rest of the book. In the absence of a guru, we assume that he/she will grant permission and we say "Ichham" after each time we seek permission from the guruji.
4.4. Taking the Vow of Sāmāyika
a) Recite the Khamāsamanā Sūtra while bowing down.
Ichchhāmi Khamā - Samāno! Vamhiyam Jāvanijjāē Nisihiyae ? Matthēna Vandāmi
b) Ask permission form the guruji to take a Sāmāyika vow by saying the following.
इच्छाकारेण संदिसह भगवन् ! HIHIRICI Afghi? .
Ichchhākārēna Sandisaha Bhagavan ! Sāmāyika Sandisāhum ? Ichchham.
Meaning : Oh ! Forgiving Gurudev, May I have your kind permission to take the vow of Sāmāyika ? If he/she is present, then he/she will say, "Yes you may”. In the absence of a
Guruji, you still may proceed. c) Recite the Khamāsamana Sūtra while bowing down.
Ichchhāmi Khamā - Samāno! Vamhiyam Jāvanijjāe Nisihiyāē ? Matthēņa Vandāmi
