(16) The vow of abstaining from eating during the nightAfter mentioning the five great vows, the reason for mentioning this separately is this—The five great vows are the basic virtues, but as abstaining from eating during the night is helpful in observing the great vows, it has been taken as a secondary virtue and has been called the sixth vow. However, the atonement for breaking it is as harsh as that for the fourth great vow. One who eats during the night breaks the first vow, ahimsa, as well as the fifth one, because he stores food. These are the reasons that it is considered as important as the great vows. (Dashavaikalik by Acharya Mahaprajna, page 143-144)
Ashan—That which is eaten specifically to satisfy hunger. Staple food like wheat, rice, pulses, etc.
Paan—That which is drunk. Water, juice, etc.
Khadya—That which is eaten generally. Fruits and other eatables.
Svadya—That which is eaten to enjoy its taste. Cardamom, clove, beetle-leaf, etc.
For the benefit of the self I accept these five great vows along with the sixth vow of abstaining from eating during night, and commence my itinerant way.
