The planets and stars remain fixed in their relative positions,
under the union of Prakriti and Purusha by the future made for them
by their Karma.
Some however say that the luminous bodies become fixed in
their relative positions by the Yoga support of Vasudeva, being held
together in the shape of Sisumara (the Gangetic porpoise) The
Sisumara has its face downwards and its body is coiled.
Dhruva is at the end of its tail. Prajapati, Agni, Indra and
Dharma are in the lower part of the tail. Dhata and Vidhata are at
the root of the tail. The seven Rishis are in the middle. On the
right side are the fourteen Stars from Abhijit to Punarvasu. On the
left side are the 14 stars from Pushya" to Uttara Sarha. So on, all
the stars and planets. (For details refer to the original).
The Sisumara is the Universal manifestation of Maha Purusha.
[The following Geo-centric diagram is given, as illustrative of
the positions of the planets.
