Teaching of Karma-yoga
Student Conduct, Vedic Study, and Gāyatrī Supremacy
नाष्टकाद्यास्वधीयीत मारुते चाभिधावति । अनध्यायस्तु नांगेषु नेतिहासपुराणयोः
nāṣṭakādyāsvadhīyīta mārute cābhidhāvati | anadhyāyastu nāṃgeṣu netihāsapurāṇayoḥ
Không nên học vào kỳ Aṣṭakā và các lễ tương tự, cũng không nên học khi gió mạnh nổi lên. Nhưng quy định anadhyāya này không áp dụng cho các bộ môn phụ trợ (vedāṅga), cũng không áp dụng cho Itihāsa và Purāṇa.
Unspecified (narratorial injunction within the Svarga-khaṇḍa context; traditional frame often features Pulastya instructing Bhīṣma, but this verse alone does not name the speaker).
Concept: Observe anadhyāya rules for Vedic study during certain rites and disturbances, yet keep sacred narrative learning (Itihāsa-Purāṇa) and auxiliary disciplines available—dharma adapts to preserve spiritual continuity.
Application: When formal study is interrupted by circumstance, switch to ‘permitted’ uplifting learning—devotional reading, ethical reflection, or chanting—so the day remains spiritually productive.
