याद रखने के लिए re-pent-ance में बार-बार का 'pain' सुनिए: किए गलत काम का दर्द फिर-फिर उठे। सच्चा पछतावा और सुधरने की इच्छा — repentance।

To remember it, hear 'pain' again in RE-PENT-ANCE: the pain of a wrong deed comes back again and again. Feeling that pain sincerely and wishing to change is repentance.
