Proper Procedure for Observing This Vow: The main goal of this Pachchakkhāna (vow) is to prevent us from eating at nighttime. 1. The day before you plan to observe this vow, you should not eat at nighttime. If this is impossible, you
should not eat anything after your last evening meal.
Also you should not drink water very late in the evening. 2. You should try to wake up in the morning before sunrise (if possible), and recite the above Pachchak

ing Navkars, the right fist should be gently clench and touching the ground.
