इमान्नित्यमनध्यायानधीयानो विवर्जयेत् । अध्यापनं च कुर्वाणोऽभ्यस्यन्नपि प्रयत्नतः
imānnityamanadhyāyānadhīyāno vivarjayet | adhyāpanaṃ ca kurvāṇo'bhyasyannapi prayatnataḥ
Wer im Veda-Studium steht, soll diese Zeiten des verpflichtenden Nichtrezitierens (anadhyāya) stets meiden; selbst wenn er lehrt oder mit großer Anstrengung übt, soll er sich dann enthalten.
Not specified in the provided excerpt (context needed from surrounding verses).
Concept: Even earnest study/teaching must yield to anadhyāya rules; dharma is measured by restraint as much as by effort.
Application: Build ‘no-study/no-work’ sanctity windows: pause during disruptive conditions or prescribed times; treat rest and silence as part of discipline; avoid spiritual bypassing through overexertion.
