The Vazhushal top discard restriction still requires a new meld when only one discard is taken.

Merely extending an existing table sequence does not justify that pickup.

Your own open run is 4♠–5♠–6♠, and 7♠ is the latest discard.

That attractive extension alone does not permit taking it.

If you instead hold 8♠ and 9♠, a fresh 7♠–8♠–9♠ meld can justify the move, with the opening requirement already satisfied.

Check the destination before drawing.

The Vazhushal top discard restriction separates a legal place somewhere on the table from a legal reason to pick up that card.
