में हैं। इसे लोक विरुद्ध व्यवहार माना गया है। पवित्र धार्मिक ग्रन्थों के विषय में स्वाध्यायकाल तथा
अस्वाध्यायकाल की मर्यादा जैन परम्परा के समान वैदिक परम्परा में भी रही है। सुश्रुत सहिता में
बताया है कि कृष्ण पक्ष की चतुर्दशी व अमावस्या तथा शुक्ल पक्ष की अष्टमी, चतुर्दशी व पूर्णिमा को फ़ । एवं सूर्योदय व सूर्यास्त का समय अनध्यायकाल है। (सुश्रुत संहिता २/९-१०)
स्वाध्याय के लिए मन की एकाग्रता आवश्यक है। रामायण का प्रसंग है-लंका से लौटने पर हनुमान के से श्रीराम ने सीता के स्वास्थ्य के विषय में पूछा तो हनुमान जी ने उत्तर दिया-प्रतिपद् पाठशीलस्य विद्येव , तनुतांगता। प्रतिपदा को पढ़ने वाले विद्यार्थी की जैसे विद्या क्षीण हो जाती है उसी प्रकार सीता भी दुर्बल

Elaboration-A pratipada (first day of a fortnight of the lunar calendar) following a festive occasion is called Mahapratipada. There f were four popular festivals during Bhagavan Mahavir's period,
Indramah, Skandamah, Yakshamah and Bhootamah. According to
Nisheeth Mahabhashya, Indramah festival was celebrated on the 5 Ashadh purnima (full moon day of Ashadh month), Skandamah on the
Ashvin purnima, Yakshamah on the Kartik purnima and Bhootamah on the Chaitra purnima. Following their respective traditions people
celebrating these festivals ceremonially worshipped Indra and other i deities. The following day, a pratipada, they invited their friends for ki drinks and feast.
One of the reasons, an important one, for proscribing studies by ascetics on these Mahapratipadas is that seeing male and female 5 ascetics studying or reciting scriptures in their neighbourhood,
people enjoying festivities could get annoyed and create disturbance. Thus it was considered proper that on such days the ascetics spend their time silently performing their religious duties and rituals. Another reason for this negation is that it is almost impossible for ascetics to study or recite scriptures with required concentration in the noise and disturbance of a pubic festival. It is considered transgression of established social norms. Like Jain tradition the rules about proper and improper time of study of pious religious scriptures have been prevalent in Vedic tradition as well. It is mentioned in Sushrut Samhita that study of scriptures is proscribed on fourteenth and fifteenth days of the dark half of a month and eighth, fourteenth and fifteenth days of the bright half of a month as also at dawn and dusk. (Sushrut Samhita 2/9-10)
