Pachchakhan ( pachkan ) Jain dharma me vrat ya sankalp hai jo man, vak, aur kriya se anumodit kiya jaata hai. Ye alag-alag avastho (jaise Navkarsi, Porsi, Sadhporsi, Purimaddh-Avaddh, Ayambil, Tivihar, etc.) ke liye alag-alag shabd/vidhi ke roop me hota hai. Digambar aur Shwetambar paramparao me kuch shabdon ya vyakhyaon me fark ho sakta hai, par mool uddeshya ahimsa aur tapas ki disha me man/kaam/vaach ko niyantrit karna hi hota hai.

Kuch aam Pachchakhan ke vishes shabdon aur kriyaon ki jankari:

• Adhikatar Pachchakhan me Navkar mantra ko teen baar (ya adhik avashyakta anusar) jap kar, phir ann/peene ki pehli rojirokh ki jaati hai. Har pachchakhan ka samay (prahar) alag hota hai.
• Navkarsi, Porsi, Sadhporsi, Purimmaddha, Avaddha, Ekasanu-Biyasanu, Ayambil-Nivi jaise vibhin pachchakhan ki soochi aam tor par mil jaati hai.

Aapko “pachchakhan” ki specific shloka ya text chahiye, to Digambar ya Shwetambar parivar ki sthiti ke hisaab se thoda fark ho sakta hai. Prasangik roop se, Navkar jap aur uske saath ki kriyayein (jaise Pachkhai, Pachkhami, Vosirai/ Vosarami) aam roop se use ki jati hain.

JainKnowledge par is vishay ki vyakhya aur kuch pramukh pachchakhan ki vyavastha mil sakti hai. Aap yahan padh sakte hain:
