Jainism mein "pratyakhyan" ka arth hai kisi vishesh ashubh kriya, vyavahar, ya vastu ka tyag ya sankalp lena—yani kisi cheez ko chhodne ka dridh nishchay karna. "Das Pratyakhyan" ka ullekh Jain aachaaron aur vraton mein hota hai, jise shwetambar aur digambar dono paramparaon mein maana gaya hai.

Das Pratyakhyan ka varnan pramukh roop se Jain aagamon mein aata hai. Shwetambar parampara ke anusar, isse "Das Pratyakhyan Sutra" kaha jaata hai, jo ki ek alag granth nahi hai, balki Dashavaikalika Sutra aur anya aagamon mein sammilit pratyakhyanon ka sankalan hai.

Das pratyakhyan ke udaharan hain:

1. Aahar Pratyakhyan (bhojan mein niyam)
2. Paan Pratyakhyan (paani peene ka niyam)
3. Ratri Bhojan Tyag Pratyakhyan (raat ko bhojan na lena)
