The Sun from the Bhuvar Loka sends forth his rays to Trilokl.
(Here follow astronomical details which need not be given.)
When the Sun is between the Autumn and spring 'Equinoxes
it is called Uttarayana (or going towards the north.) Then the Sun's
motion is said to be slow.
When the Sun is between the spring Equinox and Autumn
Equinox, it is Dakshinayana (Going towards the south.) The Sun's
motion is then said to be Quick.
When the sun is at the Equinoxes it is Vishuva. The Sun's
motion is then said to be Even.
When it is Dakshinayana, the days increase. When it is
Uttarayana the nights increase.
The sages teach 9 Krores and 51 lakhs of Yojanas as the
Circumferance of Manasottara.
[On both sides of Meru up to Manasottara is 3 Krores and
15 lakhs. The Measure of the above circle is obtained from this
