________________ Seven Add rules of Pachhakhan-Vows : (1) Sparshana : We must take a Pachhakhan-a vow at the right time as per rules laid down for each. (2) Palana : It should be ended, remembering the purpose for which it was taken. (3) Shobhana It should be ended after first serving food to a beggar or a sadhu as far as possible. (4) Tirna Let pass a little more than what is laid down before ending Pachhkhana. (5) Kirtana After ending it, we should be eager to remember the vow and should be expectantly look forward to do it again. (6) Aradhana Penance must be practised- but Aradhana is meant to destroy the bonds of karma. It is not to be observed for satisfying the cravings for mundane things. Such Aradhana loses Its purpose. Eight precautions for a Pachhakhana : (1) Pachhakhana whether minor or major in nature must be properly observed. (2) We should not be in a hurry to break the fast. (3) We should not impatiently wait for the appointed time to arrive so that the fast can be ended. (4) We should use on words nor make any gestures to arrange to end it. We must keep control and be patient. (5) We must break the fast in such a way that it troubles no one. (6) We should gratefully accept what is offered to us for eating. Don't offer suggestions for special dishes to be made for you. (7) Please eat moderately, it will protect your health. (8) One who generally observes many fasts, should do Biyasanu for preserving his physical as well as mental well-being. Advantages Of Pachhakhana : (1) By taking vows, firmness is developed. (2) We learn to develop non-attachment to sense-objects. (3) We imbibe charitra guna. 72 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
