“Dandak” shabd Jain paramparā meṁ alag‑alag sandarbhon meṁ āta hai, isliye sankhyā sandarbh par nirbhar hotī hai. Udāharan ke roop meṁ:

• Pratikraman/paddhati meṁ kuchh granthon meṁ “dandak” kā prayog kuchh lambi vandanā/anuṣṭhān ke anś ke liye hotā hai.
• Stotra/छंद meṁ “Dandaka” ek vishesh chhand śailī bhī kahīṁ-kahīṁ ullekhit miltī hai.

Sahi aur śuddh uttar dene ke liye kripya batāye ki aap kis sandarbh (Pratikraman, stotra/छंद, ādi) ke “dandak” ke bāre meṁ puchh rahe hain. Tabhī main paramparā-anurūp sankhyā aur vivaraṇ de sakūnga.
