Karacharana Kritam Vaa

Jaya Jaya Karunaabdhe Shree Mahadeva Shambho ||
श्रवणनयनजं वा मानसं वापराधं ।।
विहितम विहितं वा सर्वमेतत्क्षमस्व ।
जय जय करुणाब्धे श्रीमहादेव शम्भो ।।
Meaning:
O God, kindly pardon my incorrect actions done consciously or unconsciously, either through my organs of action (hand, feet, and speech) or through my organs of perception (eyes, ears) or by my mind. I adore the God, who is the ocean of kindness. Whether prescribed (by the scriptures) or not, please forgive me for all of them.
By God’s grace, we have completed one more day of our life. So, in order to thank god and to ask for his mercy, one can recite this Sloka. This bedtime Sloka is a prayer to God asking him to excuse our mistakes and maintain his mercy on us.
The Karacharana Kritam Vaa Chant is a great way to end the day with forgiveness. One asks the Lord for forgiveness for wrong acts that one may have knowingly or unknowingly committed during the day.
