It also purifies the faults. The purification of the faults incurred in the past is done in the **Aalocna Pratikraman**, and even in the present, the seeker, by remaining engaged in **Sanwar Sadhana**, becomes free from sins. Along with this, in **Pratikraman**, he accepts **Pratyakhyan**, which saves him from future faults as well. He resolves, "I will be free from the inauspicious yoga of the past, I will be inclined towards the auspicious yoga in the present, and I will also be inclined towards the auspicious yoga in the future."
From the perspective of time, there are five types of **Pratikraman** - 1. **Daivaasik**, 2. **Raatrik**, 3. **Paakshik**, 4. **Chaaturmaasik**, and 5. **Saanvatsarik**.
1. **Daivaasik** - **Pratikraman** done at the end of the day is **Daivaasik**. 2. **Raatrik** - At the end of the night, to purify the faults incurred during the night.
3. **Paakshik** - At the end of fifteen days, on the days of **Amavasya** and **Poornima**, to contemplate the sins committed throughout the fortnight and perform **Pratikraman** is **Paakshik Pratikraman**.
4. **Chaaturmaasik** - After four months, on the days of **Kartik Poornima** and **Phalguni Poornima**, to criticize the faults incurred in the four months and perform **Pratikraman** is **Chaaturmaasik**.
5. **Saanvatsarik** - On the fiftieth or fifty-first day of **Aashaadhi Poornima**, to perform **Pratikraman** for the faults incurred throughout the year.
Here, there may be a natural curiosity - when the seeker performs **Pratikraman** regularly every morning and evening, then what is the need for **Paakshik**, **Chaaturmaasik**, and **Saanvatsarik Pratikraman**? The solution is - just as a house is cleaned daily, but on festival days, special cleaning is done, similarly, in daily **Pratikraman**, the transgressions are criticized, but on festival days, with special awareness, life is observed, examined, and the sins are washed away.
In **Sthanaanga**, six types of **Pratikraman** are described from other perspectives. They are as follows -
1. **Uchchar Pratikraman** - **Pratikraman** for the faults incurred while walking on the way while defecating and cleaning the stool with awareness.
2. **Prasravan Pratikraman** - **Pratikraman** for the act of urinating after cleaning the urine with awareness.
3. **Itvar Pratikraman** - Performing **Pratikraman** for short periods like daily, nightly, etc.
4. **Yaavatkath Pratikraman** - The resolution to be free from sin for the entire life, which is taken for the duration of **Mahavrat** etc., is **Yaavatkath Pratikraman**.
5. **Yatkinchit-Mithya Pratikraman** - Even while living life with caution, if any kind of uncontrolled behavior occurs due to carelessness or inattentiveness, to accept that mistake at that moment and to repent for it.
6. **Swapnaantik Pratikraman** - To repent for a bad dream seen in a dream, which is in the form of a vice or desire.
