before drinking boiled water in paryushan what pachkan to be taken
Short answer: Before drinking boiled water in Paryushan, take a simple “Pāṇī-pān nu Pachchakkhan” (vow) stating you will drink only boiled, filtered, life-free water, during the permitted daylight time, and ask forgiveness if any lapse occurs.
You may say it like this (choose one language and speak it with folded hands before an idol/Guru or mentally):
- Gujarati:
- Hindi:
- Simple English:
Tradition notes:
- Shwetāmbara: Commonly restrict to boiled, filtered water only during daylight (sunrise to sunset). State the time limit clearly in the pachchakkhan.
- Digambara: Also keep to day-time only; specify “today, till sunset, I will take only boiled (same-day) water.” If your local maryādā adds details (own vessel, covered storage, place), include them in the vow.
How to do it briefly: 1) Stand before Jin idol or sacred text, recite Navkar, then speak the pachchakkhan. 2) Specify the time limit (e.g., “today till sunset”). 3) Then take the first sip of boiled, filtered water.
