## The Conduct of a Shravak Before and After Sleep
**Chapter 3, Light 3, Verse 130**
The **Paccakkhanna** are those with qualities like touch, etc., and are called **Supratyakhyana**. In support of this, it is said that for the sake of the right understanding of all **Pratyakhyanas**, there are six types: **Fasiyam**, **Paliyam**, **Sohiyam**, **Tiriyam**, **Kittiyam**, **Arahiyam**. In this way, the purification of **Pratyakhyana** occurs in the aforementioned six ways.
1. **Fasiyam (Touched)** - At the time of **Pratyakhyana**, obtaining its touch according to the method.
2. **Paliyam (Protected)** - Repeatedly remembering the accepted **Pratyakhyana** through use, keeping it well-protected, preventing it from being broken, or nurturing it.
3. **Sohiyam (Adorned)** - From the received food, first giving to the Guru, ascetic, child, sick, elderly, etc., and then consuming the remaining food oneself.
4. **Tiriyam (Passed)** - After the duration of **Pratyakhyana** is complete, remaining stable for a short time and then eating.
5. **Kittiyam (Celebrated)** - While performing according to **Pratyakhyana**, remembering that "I have accepted this particular **Pratyakhyana** today," eating, or praising the importance of the **Pratyakhyana** that has been accepted - this is also called **Kittiyam**.
6. **Arahiyam (Worshiped)** - With all these types of purification, keeping the **Agara** in mind, putting the accepted **Pratyakhyana** into practice.
After the explanation, two types of fruits are mentioned. By performing **Paccakkhanna**, the doors of future karmas are closed; this leads to the destruction of desire and thirst. With the cessation of thirst, unparalleled peace arises; due to this, **Pratyakhyana** becomes pure. Through pure **Pratyakhyana**, the seeker attains the true nature of **Charitra Dharma**. This leads to the depletion of old karmas, through which the seeker gradually attains **Ganasthana** and one day attains **Kevalgyan**. And from **Kevalgyan**, the seeker attains **Moksha**, the eternal state of happiness. In this way, **Pratyakhyana** is the giver of **Moksha** through tradition.
Thus, the description of the nature of **Pratyakhyana** and the six essentials is complete. For a **Shravak**, only **Chaityavandan** etc. are necessary to do, he does not need to perform these six essentials; this should never be stated. Therefore, it is said that for a **Shraman** or **Shravak**, these (six) are the necessary actions to be performed at the end of the night or day, therefore they are called **Aavashyak** (**Pratikraman**). Similarly, in the **Agam**, the **Shravak** is also told to perform **Pratikraman** etc. It is not appropriate to mention **Aavashyak** like **Chaityavandan** etc. here. Because the rule of **Pratikraman** etc. **Aavashyak** is stated as **Anto Aho-Nississ**, meaning both at the end of the day and night; whereas the rule of **Chaityavandan** is for all three times. In the **Anuyogadwar Sutra**, while describing the characteristics of **Lokottar Aavashyak**, it is said regarding its importance: "Those **Sadhu-Sadhvi** or **Shravak-Shravika** who are focused on the **Aavashyak Sutra** and its meaning, become absorbed in it, are engrossed in that **Leshya**, use it in its meaning, dedicate all three **Karana** to it, and are imbued with its feeling, perform **Aavashyak** (**Pratikraman** etc.) at both times; their **Aavashyak** should be understood as **Lokottar Bhava-Aavashyak**." According to this **Agam** statement, there is a rule for **Shravaks** to perform **Aavashyak** (**Pratikraman** etc.).
After performing the six **Aavashyak**, the **Shravak** should study, contemplate the **Anuvrat** method, or recite the **Panchparameshthinamaskaramantra** garland, or use the time by performing five types of study. These five types of study are: 1. **Vachanashastra** or reading scriptures, 2. **Pricchana** - asking questions about the subject, 3. **Paryatana** - repeatedly reviewing the learned knowledge so that it is not forgotten, 4. **Anupreksha** - discussing with each other about subtle matters and becoming free from doubt, or thinking and meditating accordingly, 5. **Dharmakatha** - giving or listening to a **Dharmakatha** or lecture on scriptural subjects.
If the **Sadhu-Sadhvi** do not have the ability to go and listen to lectures and teachings, or if there is a king or a great **Shravak**, or if there is an obstacle or difficulty in going out, then they should perform **Aavashyak**, study, etc. at home. This is **Uttamanirjarahethum** - the cause of the best depletion. It is also said that "**Shrijineshwar** has described twelve types of **Tap** externally and internally, there is no **Tap** like study, nor will there be, nor has there been." (**Panch. V. 562**) It is also said that "Through study, there is meditation, and through study, the ultimate truth can also be known; the soul, absorbed in study, attains detachment every moment."
