## Explanation of the Repository of 'Namukkarsahitya' (Naukarasi) Pacchakkhan
**Yoga Shastra, Third Light, Verse 129** may also be pure. 3. This is the third impure-pure bhang where the guru is unaware of the pratyakhyan vidhi, but the shishya is aware. This bhang is also considered pure if, in the absence of the yog of the knowledgeable guru, the shishya shows respect to the guru and performs pratyakhyan by considering the father, uncle, maternal uncle, elder brother, etc., as witnesses instead of the guru. 4. However, where both the guru and the shishya are unaware of the pratyakhyan vidhi and the shishya is also unwise, then both are impure, making the fourth bhang impure.
The pratyakhyan of the moolguna is usually for life, while the pratyakhyan of the uttaraguna is usually used daily. There are two types of uttaraguna pratyakhyan - sanketa pratyakhyan and addha pratyakhyan. Sanketa pratyakhyan is where the shravak performs pratyakhyan of porasi, etc., and goes out to the field, etc., or stays at home, but does not remain without performing pratyakhyan until the meal is served. From this perspective, he completes his pratyakhyan with a signal of opening the fist, knot, or thumb, etc. In other words, he performs pratyakhyan in the following symbolic form: "Until I open my thumb, fist, or knot, or enter the house, until the drops of sweat dry, until so many breaths are completed, until the bed soaked in water dries, or until the drops stop dripping from it, or until the lamp goes out, I will not eat." It is also said that the pratyakhyan performed with the signal of the thumb, fist, knot, house, sweat, breath, drop, lamp, etc., is called sanketa pratyakhyan by the infinite-knowing, patient men. Addha pacchakkhan is that which has a time limit. It is of ten types. These ten types are: 1. Navkar-sahit naukarasi, 2. Porasi, 3. Purimadd (Purvardha), 4. Ekasan, 5. Ekalthana, 6. Ayambil, 7. Upavas, 8. Divascharim or Bhavcharim, 9. Abhiggrah, and 10. Niviggai or Viggai (Vikritik) - related. These ten are time-based pratyakhyan. (A. Ni. 1611)
Here, there is a doubt that in the pratyakhyan of ekasan, etc., no time limit is clearly known, then why is it called time-based pratyakhyan? The solution is that it is true that there is no need for a time limit with ekasan, but the ancient teachers have also set a time limit for it, and pratyakhyan like ekasan are performed with addha pratyakhyan, therefore it is also called addha pratyakhyan.
Pratyakhyan should be performed with the repository, otherwise it becomes bhang. And the bhang of pratyakhyan or doing it is a very big fault. Therefore, the great sages have said, "There is a great fault in the bhang of the vow-pratyakhyan, while there is virtue in following even a little bit of the pratyakhyan (rule). It is very important to be wise about the profit and loss in religious work. For this, some repositories are mentioned along with the pratyakhyan. (Pancha. 5-12) The meaning of repository is - the limit, concession, (concession or exception) kept with the vow, rule, or pratyakhyan so that the pratyakhyan does not become bhang.
How many and which repositories are there in which pratyakhyan? For this, they explain in order - the auspicious time - proof that can be passed with the pronunciation of the salutation. There are two repositories in the naukarasi pratyakhyan, which we will discuss further as the occasion arises. Here, there is a doubt that in the naukarasi pacchakkhan, the time limit is not clearly known, so why not call it sanketa pratyakhyan? The solution is that this is not true. Here, in the word 'namukkarsahitya', the word 'sahitya' is attached to the word 'namukkar'. The meaning of 'sahitya' is - with. Therefore, the word 'sahitya' is indicative of 'with auspicious time'. Then the word 'sahitya' is an adjective. And the adjective indicates the noun. Therefore, the word 'sahitya' means 'with auspicious time'. Here, the question is raised again that the word 'muhurt' is not there, then how can it be a noun? The answer is that the scriptures have counted it in the time-based pacchakkhan, and we will discuss the porasi, etc., pacchakkhan with the time of prahar, etc., separately later, therefore, this pacchakkhan is considered to be auspicious time-proof before that, therefore, there is auspicious time - and - time in the namukkar-sahit pacchakkhan, one should understand this. Then it is doubted that why its time was not kept for two muhurts instead of one muhurt? The solution is that only two concessions are kept in naukarasi, while six repositories are kept in porasi. Keeping two repositories in namukkarsahitya gives its less fruit, because one muhurt
