## Anadhyayakala
[ Excerpted from Nandī Sūtra, edited by Acharya Pravara Shri Atmaramji Maharaj ]
One should study the scriptures only during the time prescribed in the Agamas for study. Studying during the Anadhyayakala is prohibited.
The Manusmriti and other Smritis also describe the Anadhyayakala in detail. Vedic people also mention the Anadhyayas of the Vedas. Similarly, other Ārya texts are also considered Anadhyayas. Since the Jain Agamas are also considered to be Sarvajñokta, Devadhiṣṭhita, and Svaravidyā, their Anadhyayakala is also described in the Agamas, such as:
**Ten Anadhyayas related to the sky:**
1. **Ukkavāte** - Meteor shower: If there is a large meteor shower, one should not study the scriptures for one prahar.
2. **Disidāghe** - Red sky: As long as the sky is red, as if it is on fire, one should not study.
