Ekāshana mein pani sirf niyamit samay par piya jata hai — jeevan ke niyam aur aapke sthān/paramparā ke anusār. Aam taur par:

• Bhojan ke saath ya usse pehle/baad, jo aapki paramparā mein nirdharit ho
• Din bhar baar-baar nahi
• Raat mein pani lena varjit maana jata hai in many Jain practices
• Sabse mahatvapurn hai ki guruji, sthanakvasi, deravasi, digambar ya shwetambar paramparā ke anusar jo niyam ho, usi ka palan kiya jaye

Agar aap Ekāshana kar rahe hain, to pani pine ka sahi samay aapke vrat-niyam ke hisab se hota hai, isliye apni paramparā ke anusar hi palan karein.
