Answer

During Ekasana, the usual practice is:

• You eat only one time in one sitting.
• Water is generally taken only during that same sitting.
• After you get up from the eating place, you normally do not eat or drink again until the next day.

Explanation

In Jain practice, Ekasana means limiting food intake to one sitting to practice self-control and reduce attachment to taste. Water, if taken, is usually included within that one sitting.

Some families or Jain traditions may have slightly different customs, so it is best to follow the guidance of your Guru, elder, or local sangh tradition.

Takeaway

For Ekasana, drink water during your one sitting, not separately later.
