## Anadhyayakala [Quoted from Nandi Sutra edited by Acharya Pravara Shri Atmaramji Maharaj]
One should study scriptures only during the time prescribed in the Agamas for self-study. Studying during the Anadhyayakala is prohibited. The Manusmriti and other Smritis also describe Anadhyayakala in detail. Vedic people also mention the Anadhyayas of the Vedas. Similarly, other Aarya scriptures are also considered Anadhyaya. Jain Agamas, being Sarvajnokt, Devadhiṣṭhita and Swaravidya combined, also have their Anadhyayakala mentioned in the Agamas, such as:
**Ten related to the sky:**
1. Utkaapat - Tarapatana - If there is a great fall of stars, one should not study scriptures for one Prahar.
2. Digdaah - As long as the direction is blood-red, meaning it appears as if there is fire in the direction, one should not study.
3. Gajit - One should not study for one Prahar after the thunder of clouds.
