Chauvihār (Chovihar / Choviyaar) ka simple matlab:

Surya ast hone ke baad se le kar agle din suryoday tak:

• Koi khana nahi (solid ya liquid food)
• Pani bhi nahi
• Aur siddh rūp se jo 4 cheezein chhodi jati hain, unko bolte hain “chatur-vihar”:

1. Āhār – khana
2. Pānī – peene ka pani
3. Aushadhi – dava
4. Tambūl – paan / supari vagairah ( jainknowledge.com)

Isko hi “Chovihar nu Pachkhan” ya “Chaturvihār Pachchakkhan” ka tyāg kehte hain – yaani suryast ke baad in chaaron ka tyag karna.

Mukhya baat:

• Raat me jeev bahut zyada hote hain, isliye khana–peena band karke ahimsa ka palan aur sanyam badhaya jata hai. ( jainknowledge.com)
