अनध्यायकाल
[स्व० आचार्यप्रवर श्री प्रात्मारामजी म० द्वारा सम्पादित नन्दीसूत्र से उद्धृत]
स्वाध्याय के लिए प्रागमों में जो समय बताया गया है, उसी समय शास्त्रों का स्वाध्याय करना चाहिए । अनध्यायकाल में स्वाध्याय वर्जित है ।
मनुस्मृति आदि स्मृतियों में भी अनध्यायकाल का विस्तारपूर्वक वर्णन किया गया है। वैदिक लोग भी वेद के अनध्यायों का उल्लेख करते हैं। इसी प्रकार अन्य आर्ष ग्रन्थों का भी अनध्याय माना जाता है। जैनागम भी सर्वज्ञोक्त, देवाधिष्ठित तथा स्वरविद्या संयुक्त होने के कारण, इनका भी आगमों में अनध्यायकाल वर्णित किया गया है, जैसे कि
दसविधे अंतलिक्खिते असज्झाए पण्णत्ते, तं जहा–उक्कावाते, दिसिदाघे, गज्जिते, निग्धाते, जुवते, जक्खालित्ते, धूमिता, महिता, रयउग्घाते ।
दसविहे पोरालिते असज्झातिते, तं जहा-अट्ठी, मंसं, सोणित्ते, असुतिसामंते, सुसाणसामंते, चंदोवराते, सूरोवराते, पडने, रायवुग्गहे , उवस्सयस्स अंतो ओरालिए सरीरगे।
-स्थानाङ्गसूत्र, स्थान १० नो कप्पति निग्गंथाण वा, निग्गंथीण वा चउहि महापाडिवएहिं सज्झायं करित्तए, तं जहाप्रासाढपाडिवए, इंदमहापाडिवए, कत्तिअपाडिवए, सुगिम्हपाडिवए । नो कप्पइ निग्गंथाण वा निग्गंथीण वा, चउहि संझाहिं सज्झायं करेत्तए, तं जहा-पडिमाते, पच्छिमाते, मज्झण्हे, अड्ढरत्ते । कप्पइ निग्गंथाणं वा निग्गंथीण वा, चाउक्कालं सज्झायं करेत्तए, तं जहा-पुवण्हे, अवरण्हे, पनोसे, पच्चूसे ।
-स्थानाङ्ग सूत्र, स्थान ४, उद्देश २ उपरोक्त सूत्रपाठ के अनुसार, दस अाकाश से सम्बन्धित, दस औदारिक शरीर से सम्बन्धित, चार महाप्रतिपदा, चार महाप्रतिपदा की पूर्णिमा और चार सन्ध्या इस प्रकार बत्तीस अनध्याय माने गये हैं । जिनका संक्षेप में निम्न प्रकार से वर्णन है, जैसे
आकाश सम्बन्धी दस अनध्याय
१. उल्कापात-तारापतन-यदि महत् तारापतन हुआ है तो एक प्रहर पर्यन्त शास्त्रस्वाध्याय नहीं करना चाहिए।
२. दिग्दाह-जब तक दिशा रक्तवर्ण की हो अर्थात् ऐसा मालूम पड़े कि दिशा में आग-सी लगी है, तब भी स्वाध्याय नहीं करना चाहिए।

## Unfavorable Time for Study

[Quoted from the Nandi Sutra, edited by Acharya Pravar Shri Pratmaramji Maharaj]

One should study scriptures only during the time prescribed in the Pramanas for study. Studying during unfavorable times is prohibited.

The Manusmriti and other Smritis also describe unfavorable times in detail. Vedic people also mention unfavorable times for studying the Vedas. Similarly, other ancient texts are also considered unfavorable for study. Since the Jain Agamas are the words of the omniscient, are divinely inspired, and are a form of self-knowledge, their unfavorable times are also mentioned in the Agamas. For example:

**Ten unfavorable times related to the sky:**

1. **Ukkavate (Meteor Shower):** If there is a large meteor shower, one should not study for one prahar (3 hours).
2. **Disidaaghe (Red Sky):** One should not study as long as the sky appears red, as if it is on fire.

**Ten unfavorable times related to the body:**

1. **Atthi (Eating):** One should not study while eating.
2. **Mansam (Meat):** One should not study while eating meat.
3. **Sonitte (Blood):** One should not study while dealing with blood.
4. **Asutisamante (Near a Dead Body):** One should not study near a dead body.
5. **Susanasamante (Near a Cemetery):** One should not study near a cemetery.
6. **Chandovarate (During the Moon's Eclipse):** One should not study during a lunar eclipse.
7. **Surovvarate (During the Sun's Eclipse):** One should not study during a solar eclipse.
8. **Padane (Falling):** One should not study after falling.
9. **Rayavuggahe (Loss of Wealth):** One should not study after losing wealth.
10. **Uvassayassa Anto Oralie Sarirage (During the Last Moments of Life):** One should not study during the last moments of life.

**Four Mahapadivaa (Major Days):**

* **Praashadpadivaa (Ashadha Purnima):** One should not study on the full moon day of Ashadha.
* **Indamahapadivaa (Indra Purnima):** One should not study on the full moon day of Indra.
* **Kattiapadivaa (Kartika Purnima):** One should not study on the full moon day of Kartika.
* **Sugimhapadivaa (Shravana Purnima):** One should not study on the full moon day of Shravana.

**Four Sanjha (Junctions):**

* **Padimate (Dawn):** One should not study at dawn.
* **Pachchimaate (Sunset):** One should not study at sunset.
* **Majjhanhe (Noon):** One should not study at noon.
* **Addharatte (Midnight):** One should not study at midnight.

**Four Chaukkal (Quarters):**

* **Puvanhe (Morning):** One should study in the morning.
* **Avaranhe (Afternoon):** One should study in the afternoon.
* **Panose (Evening):** One should study in the evening.
* **Pacchuse (Night):** One should study at night.

According to the above sutra, there are 32 unfavorable times for study: ten related to the sky, ten related to the body, four Mahapadivaa, four Mahapadivaa full moons, and four Sanjha. These are summarized as follows:

**Ten unfavorable times related to the sky:**

1. **Ukkavate (Meteor Shower):** One should not study for one prahar (3 hours) after a large meteor shower.
2. **Disidaaghe (Red Sky):** One should not study as long as the sky appears red, as if it is on fire.
