Concept
Khaṇḍita

"Broken" or invalidated — the technical status a Sadhana is checked against after an interruption; for example, a death occurring in a practitioner's hands while trying to save that person during Sadhana does not make the Sadhana Khandita.

Notes from our sources

If someone dies in a practitioner's hands while being helped during sadhana, does that make the sadhana Khandita (broken)?
No — a death occurring while a practitioner is actively trying to save that person's life during sadhana does not make the sadhana Khandita; if the deceased is family, standard Sutaka/Pataka mourning rules apply before resuming, and if an outsider, a simple purificatory bath is enough to resume.
