* One is advised to consider Anadhyayana (अनध्ययनम्) during fog, while the sound of arrows is audible, during both the morning and evening twilight, on the new-moon day, fourteenth day, full-moon day and the eighth day of each half-month. Because study of the Vedas on new-moon day destroys the teacher and on the fourteenth day destroys the pupil. Reading the Veda on the eighth days makes one forget it and on these specific days, the study of the Vedas is forbid. (Manu Smrt. 4.113 and 114).<ref name=":1" />

Vedic study on the new-moon day destroys both the teacher and student.

On examining the Piyushadhara Tika of Muhurta Chintamani text, we find
द्विविधाअनध्यायाः- नित्या नैमित्तिकाश्च । नित्या अष्टम्यादयो नैमित्तिका मन्वाद्याः। तत्र मन्वादिः सोपपदा अपि स्वाध्याया एव संक्रांतिः कदाचित्स्वाध्यायेष्वपि स्यादित्येतासु तिथिषु व्रतबंधो मा भूदिति आसामनध्यायत्वोक्तिः। इति।। (#पीयूषधारा_टीका)
In modern times, many Gurukulas following the traditional ways prescribe Anadhyayana as a part of their education system not just for Vedic studies but also for study of shastras.
* One shall not recite the Veda during a dust-storm, nor while the sky is unnaturally red, nor while jackals howl, dogs bark, the donkeys bray or the camels grunt; nor while they are in each other's company. (Manu Smrt. 4.115)<ref name=":1" />
