Answer

“Pachchakkhan” means taking a vow or renunciation for a specific period, especially related to food, water, or certain activities.

The most common basic form is:

“I take Pachchakkhan to renounce food and water until sunrise / until Navkarsi / until Porsi / until sunset.”

In Jain practice, Pachchakkhan is usually taken from a Jain sadhu, sadhvi, or knowledgeable person, because the exact words can vary by tradition, language, and type of vow.

Explanation

Common Pachchakkhan examples include:

• Navkarsi Pachchakkhan – renouncing food and water until 48 minutes after sunrise.
• Porsi Pachchakkhan – renouncing food and water for one prahar after sunrise.
• Upvas Pachchakkhan – renouncing food for the whole day, usually with specific rules about water.
• Chauvihar Pachchakkhan – renouncing all food and water after sunset until the next morning.
