Ratri (shaam) ka Pratikraman kab tak shuru karna chahiye?

• Maryadā: Suryāst ke turant baad, adhiktam 1 muhūrt (lagbhag 48 minutes) ke andar shuru karna uchit hai. Isse pehle, yani suryāst se pahle, Pratikraman shuru na karein.
• Paramparā antar:

- Shwetāmbara: Devāsī/shaam ka Pratikraman suryāst ke baad hi, aam taur par 30–60 minutes ke andar (1 muhūrt ke bhitar). - Digambara: Sāyam-sandhyā/shaam ka Pratikraman bhi suryāst ke baad 1 muhūrt ke bhitar hi uchit mana gaya hai.

• Agar der ho jaye: Yadi kisi majbūri se 1 muhūrt nikal jaye, to sone se pahle alaocanā–pratikraman ya laghu pratikraman karke kṣamā yāchanā karein, aur agle din niyamit samay par poorn Pratikraman avashya karein.
• Paryushan/mandir-samay: Kuchh sangh sthānīya suryāst ke hisāb se nishchit samay rakhte hain; wahan ke anusar chalna behtar hai.
