This page relates 鈥楧iksha (4): Atonement鈥� of the study on the Prasthanatrayi Swaminarayan Bhashyam in Light of Swaminarayan Vachanamrut (Vacanamrita). His 18th-century teachings belong to Vedanta philosophy and were compiled as the Vacanamrita, revolving around the five ontological entities of Jiva, Ishvara, Maya, Aksharabrahman, and Parabrahman. Roughly 200 years later, Bhadreshdas composed a commentary (Bhasya) correlating the principles of Vachanamrut.

9. Dik峁Ｄ� (4): Atonement
We have learned some of the various moral, physical rules prescribed by Sv膩min膩r膩ya峁嘺. But he knows the human tendency that knowingly or unknowingly any of these rules would be transgressed, then for purification, rules for atonement are also given in scriptures like the 厂补迟蝉补峁僩补诲墨办峁Ｄ�[1] and Ak峁rapuru峁ttama M膩h膩tmyam. Similarly, the words of a param 别办腻苍迟颈办补 蝉腻诲丑耻 who has attained Parabrahman-realization are also measured to be dharma. Thus, whatever he instructs one to do in atonement for a sin purifies one from that sin, but it should be done with full faith. After having atoned for the sin, the devotee becomes purified. He should not then be known as a sinner.[2]
