Answer
The commonly recited words for Tivihar Pachchakkhan are:
“Tivihāraṁ pachchakkhāmi.”
It means:
“I renounce three types of food/drink until the decided time.”
Explanation
In Jain practice, Tivihar generally means giving up all food and drink except water.
So when a person takes Tivihar Pachchakkhan, they usually renounce:
- Food
- Milk / beverages
- All other eatables and drinks
But water is allowed according to the vow taken and the proper time rules.
Takeaway
Tivihāraṁ pachchakkhāmi is the basic vow-line, but the exact Pachchakkhan may be longer depending on tradition, time, and guru guidance.
