Chapter 9 · Days Without Vedic Study
अनध्यायप्रकरणम्
पर्वाग्रादियुगष्टमीतितिथयो मध्वादिपक्षद्वये ऽनध्यायाश्चरसंक्रमा अथ मधौ वह्निश्च शुक्रे यमः । राधेऽग्निस्त्वसितो यमः शुचिदृगाशार्कास्त्रयोदश्यथो मार्गे कृष्णनगग्रहा विषदृगंकाशाग्नयः कीर्तिताः ॥ १ ॥
In both fortnights of every month from Chaitra on, these days are anadhyaya (day without Vedic study). They are the parva (junction day) and the tithi (moon day) just before it. Also the one just after it, and the 8th. The sankranti (the Sun's entry into a sign) into a moving sign is one too. Now the days for each month. In Chaitra, the 3rd. In Jyeshtha, the 2nd. In Vaishakha, the 3rd, and the 2nd of the dark half. In Ashadha, the 2nd, 10th and 12th, and the 13th. In Margashirsha, the 7th and 9th of the dark half. Also the 2nd, 9th, 10th and 3rd of the bright half. So it is taught.
Simple meaning: No Vedic study on new and full moon days, the days beside them, the 8th, and listed days.
पौषेशस्त्वसिता दृगंकमुनयोंऽत्ये कृष्णखेटाद्रिदृङ् माघेऽर्काब्धिदृगद्रयस्त्वसितजा बाह्वंकपृथ्वीधराः । ऊर्जे द्व्यंकरवीश्वरास्त्वसितजा दृग्विश्वसूर्या नभस्येऽग्निः कृष्णदृगद्रिविश्वनवमी पैत्र्यं यमोऽन्यः श्रवाः ॥ २ ॥
More tithis in each month with no Vedic study, many of them in the dark half.
योऽनध्यायतिथिः स पूर्वदिवसोऽस्तात्प्राङ्मुहूर्तोन्मितो ऽन्यस्मिन्वोदयतः क्षणत्रयगतो ब्रह्मेह नैवाभ्यसेत् । पर्वाग्रादियुगष्टमीति च तिथींस्त्यक्त्वैषु शास्त्रस्मृती वेदांगानि समभ्यसेच्च निखिलेषूक्तं पठेन्नैत्यकम् ॥ ३ ॥
A no-study tithi near sunset or sunrise spoils that day too. Other subjects are allowed on lesser days.
बभ्र्वोत्वेणखराग्न्यजांब्वहिगजाश्वोष्ट्रांत्यमूकोन्नता नो यानांतरिते त्र्यहं प्लवखगाद्यैर्नो च सज्योतिषम् । स्त्रीगोस्थ्यंतरितेहरुत्सवनिशीथाशौचमार्गेषु च च्छायायां न कपित्थशाल्मलिमधुश्लेष्मातकादेः पठेत् ॥ ४ ॥
Study stops when certain animals or things pass between teacher and pupil, and in some places and times.
