## Method of Counting and Purification of the Repositories of All Pacchakkhanas
The Pacchakkhana of the Yoga Shastra, Third Light, up to verse 129, can be taken individually or all the Viggais can be taken together with the Nivi Pacchakkhana. The meaning of the repositories should be understood as before. These are the specific repositories:
**Gihatth-Sansadvenam:** If a householder has mixed rice in milk for themselves, and after adding the rice, the milk is four fingers high (in the vessel), then they are not considered a Viggai. It is a Sansrushtdravya and is acceptable in Nivi Pacchakkhana, but if the milk is more than four fingers high, then it is counted as a Viggai. Similarly, the repository of Sansrushtdravya in other Viggais should be known from the Agamas. This means that if a householder consumes Sansrushtdravya in Nivi, their Pacchakkhana is not broken due to this repository.
**Uktittviveganam:** Even though there is a renunciation of hard substances like sugar, etc., as mentioned in the repositories from Ayambil, if a particle of a hard substance like jaggery, etc., remains and is consumed, the Pacchakkhana is not broken. However, this repository (exception) is only for hard Viggais, not for liquid Viggais.
**Paducchamkkhiyenam:** If a householder applies a small amount of ghee to a dry roti, etc., to make it soft, and it is consumed, this Pacchakkhana is not broken due to the repository called "Pratiitya-prakshit", provided that the taste of ghee is not perceived at all. If a small amount of oil, ghee, etc., that is on the finger gets on the roti, etc., and is consumed, this Pacchakkhana is not broken. However, eating with ghee, etc., specifically added is not permissible for those who have the Pacchakkhana of the Dharaviggai.
In this way, by taking care of the repositories mentioned for Nivi Pacchakkhana through Viggai-tyaga and Upalakshana, I renounce the rest of the Voshir-tyaga. If a piece of jaggery is kept in a Viggai that has been renounced, it can be picked up and the Viggai can be taken. From this perspective, there are nine repositories for the Jaggery Viggai and eight repositories for the milk, etc., liquid Viggais.
Here we present the meaning of the Agama-gatha that supports this point, which reveals the repositories:
There are two repositories for the Namukkarasahya (Naukarasi) Pacchakkhana, six for the Porasi, seven for the Purimat (Purvardha) Pacchakkhana, eight for the Ekasan, five for the Upvas, six for the Upvasadi with water, four for the Divascharam and Bhavcharam Pratyakhyana, four for the Abhigha, or four others, and eight or nine for the Nivi. Among these, there are five repositories in the A-pravarana Abhigha and four in the remaining Abhigha Pacchakkhana. (A. Ni. 1612-1614)
Here there is a doubt: If the repositories mentioned for Nivi are mentioned under the Viggai-tyaga form of Pacchakkhana, then someone does not renounce all Viggais, but keeps some Viggais, or renounces only some Viggais; how should the repositories be understood in such Viggai-Pacchakkhana? The solution is that the Parimit-Viggai-Pacchakkhana should also be taken along with the Nivi Pacchakkhana. The same repositories should be understood in that as well. That is, the repositories mentioned in Nivi are also the repositories in the (Parimit) Viggai Pacchakkhana. Similarly, the Pacchakkhana of Biyasana should be understood along with Ekasan, Sadhporasi along with Porasi, and Avadd along with Purimadd. It is not inappropriate to speak of these Pacchakkhanas along with the increase in A-pramatata. Since the repositories related to Ekasan, etc., are the same, they should be understood in Porasi, Sadhporasi, etc. Because the repositories in Chauvvihar are the same as the repositories in Trivihar, Duvihar Pacchakkhana, similarly, the repositories of Biyasana, etc., and Ekasan, etc., are similar due to the similarity of the word Asanadi.
Here there is a doubt: If the Biyasana, etc., Pacchakkhana is of the Abhigha form, then there should be four repositories, why more? The solution is that it has similarity with them due to its acceptance, observance, and protection, just like Ekasan, etc. Therefore, there should be the same number of repositories in Biyasana as well. Other Acharyas believe that the Pacchakkhanas of Biyasana, etc., are not counted in the original Pacchakkhanas. The original ten Pacchakkhanas are Ekasan, etc., so that is correct. If someone is unable to perform the Ekasan, etc., Pacchakkhana, then they can perform the Porasi, etc., mentioned Pacchakkhana according to their feeling and ability. For those who desire even greater benefit, it is appropriate to perform the Pratyakhyana with Ganthisahit, Muththisahit, etc., along with that (Porasi, etc.). Because the Ganthisahit, etc., Pacchakkhana also increases the A-pramattadash and is fruitful. These...
