जंबुद�पे जे हुं�त प�वया, ते चेव हुं�त हेम �स|


�द�जं�त स��ख�े न छु�ए �दवसपि�छतं॥
जंबुद�वे जा हु�ज वाल ुआ, ताउ हुं� त रयणाइ|
�द�जं�त स� �खते, न छु�ए �दवसपि�छ�ं॥

The soul, that have committed numerous sins can’t become pure even after donating gold equivalent to all the mountains of Jambu island and
precious stone as equals all the sand of Jambu island. But the same soul becomes pure by confessing innocently and willingly as well as by
repenting.

आलोयणप�रणओ स�मं संप��ओ गु�सगासे|


जइ अंतरा�व कालं करेइ आराहओ तह�व॥

What else can we say, the great soul, who has moved towards confession, even though dies before or during atonement, becomes pure. The soul
confessing improperly, even after completing the recommended atonement etc, doesn’t become pure. Hence one has to confess purely.

What Is Meant By Impure Confession?

ल�जा गारवेण बहु�सुयभयेण वा�व द�ु च�रयं|


जे न कहं �त गु�णं, न हु ते आराहगा हुं �त॥

Feeling ashamed in admitting such deeds, due to pride, being a great devotee or a scholar etc. may cause hesitation in confessing sincerely. The
souls who do not truly confess due to fear of losing scholarship or by shame or pride, don’t become pious.

The 10 Faults of Persons Confessing Improperly
