Answer

After completing Atthai, it is best to start with a very small quantity of gentle fruit juice, not a large glass.

Commonly suitable options are:

• Sweet lime juice — mosambi juice
• Orange juice — if it suits your stomach
• Pomegranate juice — light and nourishing
• Grape juice — mild and easy for many people

Avoid very sour, very cold, or heavy juices immediately.

Explanation

After Atthai tapasya, the body becomes delicate, so the parna should be done carefully and gradually. Take only a few sips first. If the stomach feels comfortable, you may continue slowly.

It is better to avoid:

• Ice-cold juice
• Very sour lemon-type juice
• Thick smoothies
• Packaged juices with preservatives or excess sugar
• Large quantity at once

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, completing Atthai is a great tapasya. The parna should also be done with awareness, calmness, and restraint, not with greed or hurry.

Takeaway

For parna after Atthai, choose a light, fresh, non-cold juice such as mosambi, pomegranate, grape, or mild orange juice, and drink it slowly in small quantity. If you have health concerns, please consult a doctor or experienced elder before deciding.
