Answer

Pachkhan pehle lena hota hai — yani jis tyag/niyam ka sankalp karna hai, uski shuruaat se pehle.

Agar aap “48 minutes” wali maryada ki baat kar rahe hain, to aam taur par iska arth hota hai ki pachkhan lene ke baad us maryada/niyam ko kam se kam 48 minutes tak nibhana hota hai, na ki 48 minutes baad pachkhan lena.

Explanation

Jain Dharma mein pachkhan ka arth hai: guru-bhagwant ya samyak bhav se kisi vastu, kriya, bhojan, pani, ya dosh ka tyag karne ka sankalp lena.

Isliye:

• Agar aap bhojan/pani ka tyag kar rahe hain, to pachkhan tyag shuru karne se pehle lena chahiye.
• Agar aap 48 minutes ka niyam le rahe hain, to pachkhan lekar 48 minutes tak uska palan karna chahiye.
• Tyag karne ke baad pachkhan lena uchit paddhati nahi maana jaata.

Takeaway

Pachkhan hamesha niyam shuru karne se pehle lena chahiye. Agar specific pachkhan jaise Navkarsi, Porsi, Sadh-Porsi, Tivihar, Chauvihar, ya 48-minute niyam ki baat ho, to apne guru-bhagwant ya gyaniji se maryada confirm kar lena sabse uchit hai.
