Samvatsari ka pachhkhhan (pacchakhan) Samvatsari Pratikraman ki us rasm ki chhant (evening) aur uske antar aane wale kuch vikalpon ki vyakhya hai. Ye paanch-mool uddeshyon se hota hai: apna pap swikar karna, dev-gurue ki vandana, karmon ki kshama maangna, aane vale saal ke liye durgunnon se bachne ka sankalpan, aur sabhi jeevon ke prati maitri bhav jagana.

Samvatsari ke pachhkhhan ke chaar mukhya roop (divas-charim pacchakhan) aam tor par nimn likhit hain:

1) Panahära Pacchakhan (Agar aapne kuch tapasya ki hai to) - Din bhar aur raat bhar main pani (drinks) ya anya bhojan ko tyag karta hoon. Par kuch halaton mein: anabhog, sahasatkar, mahattarakar, aur sarva samadhi pratyakar ki chhutti hoti hai. Is avastha ke ant mein samayik niyam (pachchakhan) maana jata hai.

2) Chauvihära Pacchakhan (jo vyakti din ke dauran samanvay bhojan ya samay par aahar karta raha ho) - Din ke din aur raat bhar main char tarah ke bhojan (ashan, pan, khäïdam, swadim) tyag karta hoon, par anabhog, sahasatkar, mahattarakar, aur sarva samadhi pratyakar ki chhutti hoti hai.

3) Tivihära Pacchakhan (jo raat mein pani peene ki ichha rakhna chahte hain) - Din ki tarah hi teen ya chaar prakaar ki bhog anukulan ki chhuttiyon ke sath, parantu inke sath bhi anabhog, sahasatkar, mahattarakar, aur sarva samadhi pratyakar ki chhuttiyan hoti hain.

4) Duvihära Pacchakhan (jo raat mein pani ya dawa lekar bhookh ya bhog ki chah rakhte hain, guru ki anumati par) - Raat bhar do prakar ke bhojan (ashan aur khadim) ko tyag kiya jata hai; anabhog, sahasatkar, mahattarakar, aur sarva samadhi pratyakar ki chhuttiyan prapt hoti hain.

Kshama pratikraman ke sandarbh mein pachchakhan ke baad aam tor par kuch anya kriyaen hoti hain, jaise:

• Suguru Vandana (guru-ashraya ki uvaad, dev-guru ki vandana).
• Atonement ke sankalp (Mikchami dukka dam) – dusron se kshama maangna aur khud se bhi galatiyon ki kshama maangna.
• Antim me sabhi jeevon ke prati maitri bhav ki pratigya.

Sutra/sutra-granth ke hisaab se pachchakhan ki saralta aur prayog Shwetambar (Murtipujak) ke sandarbh me vyavaharik roop se spasht milti hai; Digambar sampradaya me bhi aisa pratikraman ki kriyaayein hoti hain par prayerabdha shabdon ya kriyaon ki padhati me thodi bhinnata hoti hai. Vartik roop me jo vyakhya upar di gayi hai, use Shwetambar Pratikraman aur uske pachchakhan ke anuvaad se prapt kiya ja sakta hai.

Aap chahein to main is vishay par specific Digambar ya Shvetambar ke kengon ki exact vartalap ya wording (original sutra) bhi de sakta hoon. Agar aap chahte hain, main aapke liye uska suraat (mool vaakya) aur arth (arth) ko bahut saral tareeke se samjha dunga.
