Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Indistinct’—when the letters and accents are not clearly pronounced. This happens when a man is reciting hurriedly.
‘At the end of night’— in the latter part of night. If he, on rising from sleep, study the Veda, he shall not, if he becomes tired, go to sleep again. The right reading is—‘na niśānte pariśrānto brahmādhītya śayīta tu.’—(99)
