5 āloyaṇāe -aṃ bhante jīve kiṃ jaṇayai | āloyaṇāe

By confession of sins (before the Guru) the soul gets rid of the thorns, as it were, of deceit, misapplied austerities, and wrong belief, which obstruct the way to final liberation and cause an endless migration of the soul; he obtains simplicity, whereby the soul which is free from deceit does not acquire that Karman which results in his having a carnal desire for a woman or eunuch, and annihilates such Karman as he had acquired before.
