What is pachkan of chauvihar upvas
Chauvihar Upvas ka pachkan kya hai:
- Arth: Chauvihar Upvas me din bhar kuch bhi khaya-piya nahi jaata. Naam ke mutabik, paani bhi nahi peeta (jo kuch bhi peena ya khana jaata hai, wo sab chhod diya jata hai). Is pachkan ka maksad atma par dhyan badhana aur sadaiv ahimsa, vrat aur nishchintata ki puri practice ko majboot karna hai. Ya hi pramukh niyam hai Digambar aur Shwetambar dono par.
- Mool pachkan (saamanya tarike se): Upvas ki pachkan me neeche diye gaye cheezon se bachna hota hai (subha suryodaya se agle din ke surya uday tak): khana (ann), paani (water), anukara (phalon/na pakka khane ki cheezein), aur mukh ko tazaa karne wali cheezein (mouth fresheners). Yahan diye gaye shabd aapko is pachkan ki typical mannyata dikhate hain:
- Dharmic sandarbh: Is pachkan ki kriya par aam taur par 3 navkaar bolkar pachkan ke baad apna din ki agla kalyan kriya (jaise ki pacchhan todna) ki taiyari ki jati hai. Digambar-Shwetambar sampradaya me is vidhik kriya ki bhinn-bhinn vyakhya mil sakti hai, lekin mool tatva yahi hai ki vyakti ne shudh atma ki aur manan-dhyan ki disha me upvas kiya hai.
- Sankshipt sandesh: Chauvihar Upvas ka pachkan, shareerik ahar-se samarpan karke atma ki shuddhi aur dhyan ki pragati ke liye kiya jata hai; isme surya-udaya se aagle din ke surya-udaya tak bhojan aur paani se parhez kiya jata hai (vishesh roop se paani tak bhi).
- Sankshipt vyakhya ki srot: Cauvihār Upvāsa Pachkhān ki vyakhya is prakar ki jankariyon me milti hai, jahan pachkan ke mool shabdon aur niyamon ko varnit kiya gaya hai. ( jaintreasures.org.uk, jainalertusa.org, jainliterature.weebly.com)
Note: Yahan Digambar/Shwetambar ki vyakhyaon me thodi si bhinnata ho sakti hai, par mool uddeshya — Upvas me bhojan-paani se dur rehna aur atma-nirvan ki or dhyaan kendrit karna — aam taur par samaan hi mana jata hai.
