Anadhyayana during the day and night, owing to saṅkramaṇa during daytime. When saṅkramaṇa happens in the night, the previous and next day (daylight time) are anadhyayana. If saṅkramaṇa happens in the night, the previous and next nights are anadhyayana.

अनध्यायः
Anadhyayana on account of uttarāyaṇa. On the days of Ayana (solstices), Vishu (equinoxes), the day when Lord Vishnu goes to sleep (Shayana Ekadashi) or awakens (Utthana Ekadashi) as well as the Manvadi and Yugadi days, one is not supposed to perform Adhyayana.

सायन-रवि-सङ्क्रमण-पुण्यकालः
- 08:26→17:44
16 ghatikas on either side of the transition of the Sun are sacred for various observances. In addition to specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.
While the nirayana puṇyakāla-s are well known, marked by the transit of the Sun into various rāśī-s (which confer the name to the corresponding saura month), there are also ayana-s and sāyana saṅkramaṇa-s, which mark the position of the Sun above the Northern or Southern parts of the Earth. These determine the r̥tu-s, and also the very famous uttarāyaṇa and dakṣināyana (movement of the Sun towards North or South, respectively). While these two types of puṇyakāla-s (sāyana and nirayana) coincided millennia ago, there has been a gradual precession of the equinoxes, owing to the nature of the Earth’s rotation, causing the sāyana saṅkramaṇa-s to happen about 24 days before the nirayana saṅkramaṇa-s. In that era, uttarāyaṇa coincided with makara-saṅkramaṇa and dakṣināyana coincided with karkaṭaka-saṅkramaṇa, and the mēsa and tulā saṅkramaṇa-s corresponded to the equinoxes, when the Sun rises direct East (and sets direct West).
Many Dharma Shastra texts recognise the separate puṇyakāla-s for both types of saṅkramaṇa-s. The vachanam of Jaabaali Maharshi is mentioned above, where he says that the puṇyakāla-s are identical (in their reckoning) for both types of saṅkramaṇa-s. In the Pulastya Siddhanta, the anushthanas which are to be performed in this sayana punya kala just like nirayana are explicitly stated: snāna, dāna, japa, śrāddha, vrata, hōma, etc. In Kala Madhava, which is considered as the source text of the kala vicharas of the Dikshitiya, it is said in the 5th prakarana that, meṣādi-saṅkrāntayo yasmin dine bhavanti tasmād dināt pūrvebhyaḥ ekādaśabhyo dinebhyaḥ prācīne dine, noting that Sayana Sankramanas occurred ~11 days before the day when the Mesha Sankramanas etc occur. Further references are seen in Dharma Sindhu first pariccheda, Jayasimha Kalpadruma sankranti nirnaya and Nirnaya Sindhu first pariccheda. There are also ample references in Vedas, illustrating how Ayana-s happened much later (in certain other eras), e.g. Shukla Yajur Veda Shatapatha Brahmana (Ekapaat Kanda 1/2/3), Nakshatra Sukta belonging to the Atharva Veda (Shaunaka Samhita 19/7/2), Maitrayaniya Aranyaka (6/14), and Taittiriya Brahmana (1/5/2).

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the second half of the day (aparāhṇa) and before midnight, the second half of the day form a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

सहोमास-उषःकाल-पूजा-समापनम्
While this is traditionally celebrated in Dhanurmasa, given the precession of equinoxes, it would be ideal to celebrate it in the corresponding tropical solar month, given that is the start of the uṣahkāla for the Devatas. A very early morning puja is performed, typically with mudgānnam as naivedyam. Begets fruit equivalent to performing puja for a thousand years! The two ayana-s of the Sun are night and day for the Devas. 30 of these days become a month. The uṣahkāla of their day starts in chāpamāsa i.e. dhanurmāsa (although the shloka refers to the sidereal month, it appears logical to use the tropical month, owing to its association with uttarāyaṇam). Therefore, one must strive to perform uṣahkāla-pujā in this month, before sunrise — a ṣōḍaśōpachāra-pūjā. Following this, one must perform Sandhyavandam and upasthanam! The Shivapurana also extols the uniqueness of the early morning puja in this month, suggesting that one must perform rudrābhiṣeka.

Beginning of sahasya-māsaḥ, marked by the transit of Sun into the 10th division of the tropical zodiac. Importantly, this also marks the beginning of uttarāyaṇam, and the end of dakṣiṇāyanam. This also marks the winter solstice. While nirayana saṅkrānti’s are widely observed, tropical saṅkrānti’s are also equally sacred, and have similar puṇyakālas associated with them.

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

uttarāyaṇa-puṇyakālaḥ. For uttarāyaṇa, the 20 ghatikas succeeding the saṅkramaṇa form a puṇyakāla; in general, the ghatikas closer to the puṇyakāla are even more sacred.
While the nirayana puṇyakāla-s are well known, marked by the transit of the Sun into various rāśī-s (which confer the name to the corresponding saura month), there are also ayana-s and sāyana saṅkramaṇa-s, which mark the position of the Sun above the Northern or Southern parts of the Earth.
