## Anadhyaya Kaal
[Quoted from Nandi Sutra, edited by Acharya Pravara Shri Atmaramji Maharaj]
One should study scriptures only during the time prescribed in the Agamas for self-study. Studying during the Anadhyaya Kaal is prohibited.
The Manusmriti and other Smritis also describe Anadhyaya Kaal in detail. Vedic people also mention the Anadhyayas of the Vedas. Similarly, other Arsha Granthas are also considered Anadhyaya. Jain Agamas, being Sarvajnokt, Devadhisthit and Swaravidya combined, also have their Anadhyaya Kaal mentioned in the Agamas, such as:
**Ten Anadhyayas related to the sky:**
1. **Ulkapaat:** If there is a great fall of stars, one should not study scriptures for one Prahar.
2. **Digdaah:** As long as the direction is red, meaning it appears as if there is fire in the direction, one should not study.
3. **Garjit:** Thunder
4. **Vidyut:** Lightning
However, Garjan and Vidyut are not considered Anadhyaya during Chaturmas, as they are often a natural occurrence during this season. Therefore, from Ardra to Swati Nakshatra, it is not considered Anadhyaya.
5. **Nirghaat:** When there is a loud roar in the sky without clouds, or when there is thunder with clouds, there is an Anadhyaya period of two Prahar.
6. **Yupaka:** In the Shukla Paksha, the Sandhya of Pratipada, Dwitiya, and Tritiya, when the moonlight is visible, is called Yupaka. One should not study during these days, until the night.
7. **Yakshadeepta:** When there is a light in a direction, like lightning, but with a slight delay, it is called Yakshadeepta. One should not study as long as the Yaksha-like light is visible in the sky.
