Answer

If you took Pratikraman Pachkhan the previous day, then the next morning you should take Navkarsi Pachkhan if you plan to eat/drink after completing Navkarsi time.

You would take Porsi Pachkhan only if you intend to continue fasting beyond Navkarsi and eat/drink only after Porsi time.

Explanation

In simple terms:

• Navkarsi Pachkhan means you will not eat or drink until the Navkarsi time is completed.
• Porsi Pachkhan means you will not eat or drink until Porsi time is completed, which is longer than Navkarsi.

So at 9:44 AM, the correct pachkhan depends on your intention:

• If you are going to do only Navkarsi, take Navkarsi Pachkhan.
• If you are going to extend your vow until Porsi, take Porsi Pachkhan.

Spiritual Understanding

Pachkhan is a sacred commitment. In Jain Dharma, it should be taken according to what you can sincerely follow. It is better to take a vow with clarity and observe it properly than to take a stricter vow without certainty.

Takeaway

Take Navkarsi Pachkhan if you will eat/drink after Navkarsi. Take Porsi Pachkhan only if you will wait until Porsi time. If unsure, ask your Guru Bhagwant, Maharaj Saheb, or a knowledgeable Jain elder from your tradition.
