Answer

In the 6 Āvashyak, there is no “doctor” as a person.

But spiritually, Pratikraman can be understood as the doctor because it helps us identify, confess, and heal the faults of the soul.

Explanation

The 6 Āvashyak are:

• Sāmāyik – equanimity
• Chaturviṁśati Stava – praise of the 24 Tirthankars
• Vandan – respect to Guru
• Pratikraman – repentance for faults
• Kāyotsarg – detachment from the body
• Pratyākhyān – renunciation or vows

Among these, Pratikraman is like a spiritual doctor because it helps us examine our mistakes and purify ourselves through repentance.

Takeaway

If someone asks, “Who is the doctor among the 6 Āvashyak?” the best answer is:

Pratikraman is like the doctor of the soul.
