Prakshal se pahle aam taur par "Namo Arihantanam" ya "Namo Siddhanam" ka smaran kiya jata hai. Kuch paramparāon me Dev-vandan, Navkar Mantra, aur fir shuddh bhav se prakshal ki vidhi ki jati hai.

Saral roop me:

• Navkar Mantra ka jap
• Arihant, Siddh, Acharya, Upadhyaya, Sadhu ka smaran
• Fir vinay aur pavitrata-bhav ke saath prakshal

Agar aap kis prakshal ki baat kar rahe hain — jaise dev-vandan ke baad ka prakshal, puja ka prakshal, ya snaan/haath-mukh prakshal — to uske anusaar vidhi thodi alag hoti hai.
