Chapter 9 · Days Without Vedic Study
अनध्यायप्रकरणम्
रात्र्यर्धे मदनो मुनिर्दलयुते यामे चतुर्थ्याद्यके प्राग्रात्रौ पठनं ह्युपाकरणतो मासं निशः प्राग्दले । श्वोऽनध्याय इतीह रात्रिपठनं वर्ज्यं सदा संध्ययोश्चोरोपद्रवयामके त्रिदिवसं दुर्भुक्प्रतिग्राहयोः ॥ ७ ॥
Say the 13th tithi (moon day) begins by midnight. Or the 7th begins within one and a half yama (three-hour part of the day) of the night. Or the 4th begins in the first yama. Then there is no study in the early part of that night. For one month from the upakarana (rite that opens the study term), study in the first half of the night. When tomorrow is a day without study, avoid study tonight. Always avoid study at the two twilights. Do not study in a watch when thieves cause trouble. After eating bad food or taking a bad gift, stop for three days.
Simple meaning: If certain tithis start in the night, skip that night's study; never study at twilight or after a bad meal or gift.
ग्रामांतः कुणपे श्वशूद्रनिकटे श्राद्धाशने वक्रगे तांबूले ग्रहणाद्गुरुक्षितिपतिप्रांतादुपोत्सर्गतः । भूकंपाशनिपाततः पुरदहे रिष्टावलोकात्त्र्यहं गर्जेऽनार्तवके त्र्यहं समयजे सज्योतिरंते सतः ॥ ५ ॥
No study near a corpse or after a shraddha meal; eclipses, quakes and similar events stop study for three days.
वाद्योलूकखरार्तजंबुकरवे साम्नां च वाते जले नीहारे पतिताभिशस्तनिकटे धावज्जनालोकने । ग्रामांते पितृकाननेप्यथ सतानूनप्त्रिणीते दिवं तद्वत्सद्व्रतिनि त्र्यहं च न पठेद्भुक्त्वार्द्रपाणिर्न च ॥ ६ ॥
Noises, bad weather, some places and people, and the death of a fellow priest or student stop study.
दक्षांगोदरनाभिहृत्सु पतिता पल्ली वरांगे हनुं त्यक्त्वा नुः शुभदा स्त्रियाः फलमिदं वामेतरव्यत्ययात् । इत्याहुः सरठप्ररोहणफलं पातेऽन्यथैके वृथापल्यारोहणकेऽपि वस्त्रसहितः स्नात्वा चरेच्छांतिकम् ॥ ८ ॥
A lizard falling on a man's right side tends to be good; for a woman, the left. Then bathe and pray.
