## Sixth Study: Renunciation
**[125]**
This is the case with both the *Anabhoga* and *Sahasakara* receptacles: as long as one is unaware, the fast is not broken. However, if one becomes aware but has already taken food into the mouth and does not spit it out and stop eating, then the fast is broken. Therefore, it is the duty of the practitioner to stop eating as soon as they become aware and to spit out everything that is in their mouth with effort. If they do not do this, the fast is broken.
**2. The Pauraushi Sutra**
I renounce the *Pauraushi*. From sunrise until one *prahar* after sunrise, I renounce all four types of food: *ashan*, *pan*, *khadim*, and *swadim*. I renounce it through *Anabhoga*, *Sahasakara*, *Prachchhannakaal*, *Dishamoh*, *Sadhuvachan*, and *Sarvasamadhipratyayakara*. Except for these six receptacles, I renounce all four types of food completely.
**Meaning:** Renouncing the *Pauraushi* means abstaining from all four types of food from sunrise until one *prahar* after sunrise.
**Explanation:** The literal meaning of *Pauraushi* is "the shadow of a man." When one *prahar* has passed after sunrise, the shadow of a man becomes as long as his body. This meaning is used figuratively to refer to a specific period of time, one *prahar* after sunrise.
The six receptacles of *Pauraushi* are:
1. **Anabhoga:** Eating due to forgetfulness or lack of awareness of the renunciation.
2. **Sahasakara:** Accidentally taking water or something else into the mouth.
3. **Prachchhannakaal:** Mistakenly believing that the *Pauraushi* is complete due to the sun being obscured by clouds or a storm.
4. **Dishamoh:** Mistaking east for west and believing that the *Pauraushi* has not yet arrived, but then eating due to the sun being high in the sky.
5. **Sadhuvachan:** Eating based on the word of a trustworthy person who says, "The *Pauraushi* has arrived," even though it has not.
6. **Sarvasamadhipratyayakara:** Eating due to being completely absorbed in meditation and not being aware of the time.
