Jain dharm me pani (jal) ki pavitrata aur uske prabhav par bahut zor diya gaya hai. Niman pratyek prakriya ka aadhar ahimsa, shuddhi, aur atma-vishwas par tika hua hai. Neeche ek sankshep me "pani chankar pine ki prakriya" yaani pavitra pani peene ki prakriya ka saar diya gaya hai:

1) Pani ki pavitrata ki mahatta

• Jain dharm me paani ko pavitra mana jata hai, kyunki peene se sharir me pavitrata aur manavata ki bhavna aati hai.
• Pani ko shuddh rakhna, usme kalank ya hanikarak tatvon se bachna, ahimsa ki pratibaddhata ko majboot banaata hai.

2) Achamana (pani se shuddhi ki kriya)

• Achamana ki kriya bahut purani hai jo adhikatar dharmik paramparaon me vishesh roop se paani ke shuddhata ke liye ki jati hai.
• Is kriya me aam taur par ek chhote patra ya haath me pani le kar teen-teen baar zyaada kram me peene ki chalan hoti hai, saath me dharti ki stuti ya uchit mantras uchaaran kiye jaate hain.
• Maksad: indriyon ki shuddhi, bhav ko santooshpradan, aur bhojan ke samay ya dharmik karayon se pehle man ki shanti banaye rakhna.

3) Pani peene ki niyamit vidhi

• Jain dharm me paani peene se pahle kisi vyakti ko swachh aur shuddh sthaan ki sureti di jaati hai.
• Jahan tak sambhav ho, peene ke paani ko filter ya phir natural srot se laya jata hai taaki koi vishak tatv ya kalank na rahe.
• Paani peene ki niyamit kriya me ahimsa ke siddhant ki pynchhai bani rahti hai: na to jeevon ko chubhana, na hi aniyamit shor se paani ki shuddhata ko prabhavit karna.

4) Digambar aur Shwetambar ki bhinnataen

• Kuch sampradayon me pani ki pavitrata, achamana ki ritiyon aur paani ke prayog me thodi bhinnata pahunchti hai, lekin mool tatv—ahiṃsā, shuddhi, aur atmā ki bhavna—sadaiv ek samaan rehti hai.
• Yeh bhinnataen sutra-vyakhya aur anubhavik paramparaon me alag-alag vyakhya ke roop me mil sakti hain; lekin mukhya uddeshya pavitra aur shuddh jeevan ko apnana hi hota hai.

5) Chotisi sugam upalabdhiyan

• Pani ki pavitrata par kendrit chhote-chhote aacharan, jaise ki paani ko peene se pehle uspar kalpanik pooja ya mantran ki bhavana, aakhri me man aur shareer ki shuddhi me madadgar sabit hoti hai.
• Dharmic samman aur niyam ki palan se bhakti, dhairya, aur antar-aatma ki shanti milti hai.

Agar aap chahen to main is vishay par Digambar aur Shwetambar ki vishesh vyakhyaon ke saath, asli sutra-arth (arth) bhi sanshodhit roop me likh kar de sakta/ sakti hoon. Aap bataye ki aapko kaunsi parampara ki vyakhya chahiye.
