Sāmayika
In performing ''sāmayika'' (daily meditation), the ''śrāvaka'' has to stand facing north or east and bow to the '' Pancha-Parameṣṭhi''. He then sit down and recites the Namokara mantra a certain number of times, and finally devotes himself to holy meditation. This consists of: *''pratikramana'', recounting the sins committed and repenting for them, *''pratyākhyanā'', resolving to avoid particular sins in future, *''sāmayika karma'', renunciation of personal attachments, and the cultivation of a feeling of regarding every body and thing alike, *''stuti'', praising the twenty-four Tīrthankaras, *''vandanā'', devotion to a particular ''Tirthankara'', and *''kāyotsarga'', withdrawal of attention from the body (physical personality) and becoming absorbed in the contemplation of the spiritual Self.Notes
