- Waking up with a calm and pure mind
- Remembering Arihant, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyay, and all Sadhus
- Reciting the Navkar Mantra
- Taking boiled water or suitable food according to one’s vow and health

The purpose is not only to end the fast physically, but to do so with gratitude, humility, and awareness. Navkar Mantra reminds us to bow to the highest spiritual qualities before resuming eating or drinking.
