Answer

The tapasya you are describing is commonly known as Vardhaman Tap.

Explanation

In Vardhaman Tap, the austerity gradually increases step by step. It is typically performed in this pattern:

• 1 Upvas followed by Beyasna
• 2 Upvas followed by Beyasna
• 3 Upvas followed by Beyasna
• And it may continue further in increasing order, according to one’s capacity and guidance.

Spiritual Understanding

The word Vardhaman means “increasing” or “growing.” In this tapasya, the number of Upvas increases gradually, symbolizing growing self-control, discipline, and detachment from bodily comforts.

Takeaway

So, the tapasya pattern of 1 Upvas, Beyasna; 2 Upvas, Beyasna; 3 Upvas is called Vardhaman Tap. It should be undertaken with proper understanding, health awareness, and guidance from a knowledgeable Jain guru or elder.
