## Nineteenth Uddeshak ]
[ 407
The recitation, reading, and study of the original text of the Agamas should not be done during these four Sandhyas. Because, according to the present Sutra, the performance of Swadhyay leads to the consumption of knowledge (Akale ko Sajjhapro) and other defects, resulting in the Laghu Chaumasi Pratikshepa.
## Pratikshepa for violating the limits of Kalikat in Utkal
9. The Bhikshu who asks more than three questions from the Kalikashrut in Utkal, or approves of the one asking, (he should perform Laghu Chaumasi Pratikshepa).
10. The Bhikshu who asks more than seven questions from the Drishtivad in Utkal, or approves of the one asking, (he should perform Laghu Chaumasi Pratikshepa).
## Explanation
For Kalikat, the first and last Prahar of the day and night are the time for Swadhyay, and the second and third Prahar are Utkal. Therefore, Swadhyay of Kalikashrut is not done during Utkal, but some exceptions are mentioned here for the purpose of memorizing new studies, etc., in which seven questions are prescribed for Drishtivad and three questions for other Kalikashrut, such as Acharang, etc.
"Hi Siloh Ega Puchcha, Tihi Puchchahim Nav Siloga Bhavanti Evam Kaliyasuyass Egataran. Dittivaye Sattasu Puchchasu Egaavinsan Siloga Bhavanti." - Churni Bha. Ga. 6061.
One question consists of three Shlokas, and three questions make nine Shlokas. This is for each Kalik Sutra. For Drishtivad, there are twenty-one Shlokas for seven questions. That is, twenty-one Shlokas of Drishtivad and nine Shlokas of other Kalikashrut can be recited, etc., during Utkal.
The word "Puchcha" generally means to ask and answer. But for asking and answering, there is no question of Swadhyay or the time of Swadhyay, so this meaning is not relevant here in this context.
The word "Puchcha" has many other alternative meanings, which should be known from the Bhashya.
The Vad Sutra has a detailed description of many subtle and subtler topics, Bhang Bhed, etc., so its Puchcha is said to be more, so that more of its text can be recited together.
There is no clear definition available in the Agamas that distinguishes between Kalikat and Utkalikashrut. But in the Nandi Sutra, a list of Kalik and Utkalik Sutras is available. From this, it is clear which Agamas are Kalik and which are Utkalik. But the reason why the Agamas are Utkalik or Kalik is not explained there.
