## Translation:
8. **Dhūmikā:** The period from Krishna-Kārttik to Māgh is the womb-month of the clouds. During this time, a subtle, smoky-colored, water-like mist falls, which is called Dhūmikā-Krishna. As long as this mist falls, one should not engage in svādhyāya.
9. **Mihikā-Śveta:** In the winter, a subtle, white-colored, water-like mist falls, which is called Mihikā. As long as this falls, it is a time of asvādhyāya.
10. **Rāja Udghata:** Due to the wind, dust spreads all over the sky. As long as this dust remains spread, one should not engage in svādhyāya.
The above ten reasons are related to the sky and are considered asvādhyāya. The following ten reasons are related to the material world and are also considered asvādhyāya.
11-13. **Bones, Flesh, and Blood:** If the bones, flesh, and blood of a five-sensed, non-human being are visible, then asvādhyāya continues until these objects are removed. The commentator considers asvādhyāya to be present within a radius of sixty cubits from these objects.
Similarly, asvādhyāya is considered for the bones, flesh, and blood of a human being. However, the duration of asvādhyāya is one hundred cubits and one day and night. For a woman's menstrual cycle, asvādhyāya lasts for three days. For the birth of a boy and a girl, asvādhyāya lasts for seven and eight days respectively.
14. **Impurity:** Asvādhyāya continues until excrement and urine are visible.
15. **Cremation Ground:** Asvādhyāya is considered to be present within a radius of one hundred cubits around a cremation ground.
16. **Lunar Eclipse:** During a lunar eclipse, asvādhyāya should not be performed for eight, twelve, or sixteen praharas, depending on the severity of the eclipse.
17. **Solar Eclipse:** During a solar eclipse, asvādhyāya is also considered to be present for eight, twelve, or sixteen praharas, depending on the severity of the eclipse.
18. **Fall:** When a great king or a national leader dies, asvādhyāya should not be performed until his cremation is completed. Alternatively, asvādhyāya should be performed gradually until a new leader takes over.
19. **Royal Conflict:** When there is a war between nearby kings, asvādhyāya should not be performed until peace is restored. Even after peace is restored, asvādhyāya should not be performed for one day and night.
20. **Material Body:** If a five-sensed being dies within a shelter, asvādhyāya should not be performed until the body is removed. If the lifeless body is lying within a radius of one hundred cubits, asvādhyāya should not be performed.
The above ten reasons are related to the material body and are considered asvādhyāya.
21-28. **Four Festivals and Four Mahā-Pratipadās:** The four festivals are Āṣāḍha-Pūrṇimā, Āśvina-Pūrṇimā, Kārttika-Pūrṇimā, and Chaitra-Pūrṇimā. The pratipadā that comes after these pūrṇimās is called Mahā-Pratipadā. Asvādhyāya is prohibited during these periods.
29-32. **Morning, Evening, Midday, and Midnight:** Asvādhyāya should not be performed one ghaḍī before and one ghaḍī after sunrise. Asvādhyāya should not be performed one ghaḍī before and one ghaḍī after sunset. Asvādhyāya should not be performed one ghaḍī before and one ghaḍī after midday.
