Answer

If someone says they are doing Chovihar Upvas, you can respectfully reply:

“Jai Jinendra. Bahu saras bhaav chhe. Tamari tapasya sukh-shanti thi puri thay ane khub anumodana.”

Meaning: “Jai Jinendra. This is a very good spiritual feeling. May your tapasya be completed peacefully. I sincerely appreciate and approve your austerity.”

Other simple replies

• “Jai Jinendra, khub khub anumodana.”
• “Tamari tapasya safal thay, anumodana.”
• “Bahu saras, Prabhu krupa thi upvas shanti thi puru thay.”
• “Khub anumodana, aapnu bhaav khub saras chhe.”

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, when someone performs tapasya like upvas, we should respond with anumodana — sincere appreciation of their good spiritual effort. This also creates punya for the person who appreciates the tapasya with pure feelings.

Takeaway

A good reply is: “Jai Jinendra, khub khub anumodana. Tamari tapasya sukh-shanti thi puri thay.”
