**8. Dhūmikā-Kṛṣṇa-Kārttika:** The period from Kṛṣṇa-Kārttika to Māgha is the gestation period of the clouds. During this time, a fine, water-like mist of smoky color falls, which is called Dhūmikā-Kṛṣṇa. As long as this mist falls, one should not engage in svādhyāya.
**9. Mihikāśveta:** In winter, a fine, water-like mist of white color falls, which is called Mihikā. As long as this falls, it is a time of asvādhyāya.
**10. Raja-Udghāta:** 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 generous (audārika) and are also considered asvādhyāya.
**11-12-13. Bones, Flesh, and Blood:** If the bones, flesh, and blood of a five-sensed animal are visible, then as long as those things are not removed from there, it is asvādhyāya. The commentator considers asvādhyāya for a distance of 60 cubits around these things.
Similarly, asvādhyāya is considered for the bones, flesh, and blood of a human being. The difference is that asvādhyāya for these lasts for 100 cubits and one day and night. Asvādhyāya for a woman's menstrual period lasts for three days. Asvādhyāya for the birth of a boy and a girl is considered to last for seven and eight days respectively.
**14. Aśaci-Mala-Mūtra:** As long as excrement and urine are visible, it is asvādhyāya.

**20. Audārika Śarīra:** If a five-sensed being is killed within a shelter, one should not engage in svādhyāya as long as the body remains there. If the lifeless body remains within a distance of 100 cubits, one should not engage in svādhyāya.
The above ten reasons are related to the generous (audārika) body and are considered asvādhyāya.
