It sounds like you are talking about Ālochana (confession of faults) where numbers come for different types of kṣaṇa / āvalikī / bhog / upabhog / viṣaya / āhār, etc.

But the line:

> “I got 40 biyashna, I want to convert it to ekshana”

is not clear in Jain terminology.

There are a few possibilities:

1. You might mean:

- Biyasana / Dvisan / Dvai-āśana = eating two times a day - Ekāsana = eating once a day and you want to know some equivalence for prāyaścitta (penance).

1. Or you may be referring to:

- Biyāvalikī and Ekāvalikī - Or some count of pāpa-sthānaks / viśrambha / viṣaya, etc.

To answer correctly according to Jain śāstra, I need to know exactly what this “biyashna” word is in your original Prakrit/Gujarati/Hindi text.

Please tell me:

• The exact word as written in your ālochana (for example: “द्व्यासन”, “द्विआवलिकी”, “द्विशन”, etc.).
• In which language and tradition you are doing ālochana (Śvetāmbara / Digambara, Gujarati / Hindi / Prakrit)?

Once you share that exact term, I can explain what it means and how (or whether) it can be related/converted to ekśaṇa / ekāsana in a proper Jain way.
