મિચ્છામિ દુક્કડમ  
Micchāmi dukkaḍaṃ - an ancient Prakrit phrase literally meaning — may all the evil that has been done be fruitless. After the pratikramana (Jain prayer, literally "introspection"), Jains seek forgiveness from all the creatures of the world whom they may have harmed knowingly or unknowingly by uttering the phrase — micchāmi dukkaḍaṃ.
