nitya-anadhyayana days, including prathamA, aSTamI, caturdazI, amAvAsyA and pUrNimA. Manu has said that performing adhyayana on these days destroys the Guru (Amavasya), Shishya (Chaturdashi) and the vIrya of the brahma (vEda) itself (Ashtami/Purnima). Similarly, Jabali Rishi has said that Adhyayana on prathama hurts the buddhi while adhyayana on caturdazI hurts the brahma (vEda) itself!Names
