Answer

Nau Upvas ki vidhi mein khamasana ki sankhya parampara, sampraday, aur guru-aagya ke anusaar alag ho sakti hai.

Isliye iska ek universal fixed number batana uchit nahi hoga.

Aam taur par aisi tapasya ki vidhi ke liye apne Guru Bhagwant, Sadhvi ji, ya sthanik Jain upashray/derasar se vidhi confirm karni chahiye.

Explanation

Jain Dharma mein tapasya ke saath ki jaane wali kriya—jaise:

• khamasana,
• pratikraman,
• chaityavandan,
• samayik,
• paath/stavan,
• pachchakkhan

ye sab alag-alag Jain paramparaon mein thodi bhinn ho sakti hain.

Takeaway

Nau Upvas ke khamasana ki exact sankhya guru-aagya se hi leni chahiye. Tapasya mein shuddh bhav, ahimsa, sanyam, aur vinay sabse mahatvapurn hain.
