Maitreya, while in one instilar continent the sun shines in midday, in the opposite Dwipas it will be midnight ; rising and setting thus take place at all seasons and are always opposed in the different cardinal and intermediate points of horizon. Wherever the sun U visible he is said to rise there and wherever he dissappears from view he is said to be set. In sooth, their is neither rising nor setting of the sun; for he alivays exists; tlm appearance and disappearance of the sun are merely called rising and setting.

The radiance o( the sun, after its setting, is deposited ín fire and hence fire is visible even at a greater dis- tance in night. During day the rays of fire enter into the sun by virtue of which the sun becomes more bri- lliant. Elemental light and beat, proceeding respectively from the sun and fire and mixing with each other, pre- vail in diverse degrees both by day and night. When the sun» prevails either in the northern or southern hemis- phere-áay or night goes into waters according as they are attacked by darkness or light ; it is for this reason that waters appear dark by day because night is within them and white by night because when the sun is set the light of the day enters therein.

When the sun goes to Pushkara Dwipa, a thirtieth part of the circumference of the globe, his course is equal in time to one Muhurttaj and whirling round like the circumference- of the wheel of a potter lie alternately spreads day and night on the surface of the earth. At the begining of his nordiern course the sun passes to Capricornus, thence to Aquarias, thence to Pisces, successively passing from one sign of the Zodiac to another. After he has gone through them the sun gets at the vernal equinox when be makes the day and night of equal duration. From then the length of the night decreases and the day grows longer until the sun reaches ttie end of Gemini when he follows a different course and tatering Cancer begins hts declension to the south. The sun moves quickly on bis soutbern course like the circumference ot a potter's wheel revolving respectively. He glides along his course with the velocity of the wind and traverses a great distance tn a short time." In twelve Muhurttas it goes through thirteen lunar asterisms and a half during the day, and during the night, it goes tbrough the same distance only in eighteen Muhurttas.

slowly than the circumference so the sun ín his northern course revolves with less rapidity and passes over a iess space óf the earth in a longer time, until at the end of his northern route the day is again eightcen Muhurttas long and the night twelve the sun passing through them by day and night respectively in those periods. As the lump of the clay on the centre of the potter's wheel revolves tnost slowly, so the polar star, which is the centre of the Zodiacal wheel, moves very slowly and always remains in the centre like the clay. The relative length of the day or night is dependant up\>n the greater or less motion with which the sun rfcrolvfs through the degrees between the two points of horizon. During the midday when his diurnal course is quickest his nocturnal is slowest and when he moves quickly by night he moves slowly by day. The length of his journey in both the cases is the same ; for during the day and night he travels through all the signs of the Zodiac or six by night and six by day. The length and shortness of the day are measured by the extent of the signs ; and the duration of day and night is measured by the period which the sun takes to pass through them. When he declines towards the north the sun moves quickest by night and slowest by day and wheu he declines towards the south the case is thoroughly the reverse.

Fifteen Nimeshas (twinkling of the eye) make a Káshtlia ; thirty Káshth&s make one Kalá ; thirty Kalás a Muhurtta and thirty Muhurltas a day and night ; the divisions of the day become longer or shorter in the way explained before. But as regards increase or decrease Sandhyá is always the same for it is only one Muhurtta. From the time when half of llie sun's orb is visible to the expiration of three Muhurttas the interval is called Prátar (morning) forming a fifth portion of the day. The next portion or three Muhurttas from morning is called Sangava (forenoon); the three next Muhurttas make the midday ; the three next Muhurttas constitute the afternoon ; the three next Muhurttas make the evening ; and thus the fifteen Muhurttas °f the day are divided into five portions of tliree each. But the day comprises fifteen Muhurttas only at tbe equinoxes and increases and diminishes in number as the sun declines towards the north or the south, when the day encroaches upon the night and the night upon the day.

The last is called equinoctial for the sun goes there in the middle of the two seasons of spring and autumn, arriving at the equinoctical points in the first degrees of Aries and Libra and making day and night ot equal duration of fifteen Muhurttas each. When the sun is in tlie first degree of Kirtika and the moon in the fourth of Visakha or when the sun is in the third degree of Visakhá and the moon is in the bead of Kirtika that equinoctial season is holy and is cálled the Mahavishubha.

They always detect the deficiency of the properties of elementary matter and being freed from these desires they do not meet with any obstacle in the way of asceticism. For these reasons they are highly pure and have attained to immortality. By immor% tality is meant existence to the end of the Kalpa : living as long as tíiree regions exist is exemption from death. The consequenoes of the acts of impiety or piety such as Brahmanicide and Aswamedha last until the end of a» Kalpa when all within the interval between Dhruva and t^e, earth is destroyed. The region between the seven Rishis and Dhruva, the third region of the sky is the excellent celestial path of Vishnu and is the splendid abode, twice-borné one, of the ascetics, who have controlled their senses and are freed from sins and in whom virtue and vice are annihilated. Those in whoni virtue and vice are annihilated and who are freed írom the consequences óf piety or iniquity go to this excellent place of Vishnu where they never suffer sorrow. There live Dharma, Dliruva an<d other spectators of the world radiant with the superhuman faculties of Vishnu obtained by virtue, of religious meditatiooi.

Dhruva, with devotion, holds her on his crown day and night. And thence the seven Rishis 'practise their devout austerities in her water wreathing their braided locks with her waves. The orb of the moon, surrounded by her accumu- lated current, increased in lustre by her contact. Having issued from trfe moon she falls on the mount Sumeru and thence to f urifý the world, flows to the four quarters of the earth. Sita, AlakanandS, Chakshu and Ðhadra are only the'.four divisions- of one river and are named so after the regions towards which it proceeds. Alakananda, which flows towards the south, was borne delightedly on his head by Mahádeva for more than a hundred years. And having issued from the braided locks of Sambhu and washed the sins of the sinful sons of Sagara it raised them to heaven. Maitreya, the iniquities of any man, who bathes in this river, are instantly removed and they obtain unprecedented virtue. And its water, if oftered reverentially for three years by the sons to their manes, gives them rare gratification. Having wor- shipped the excellent Purusha, the lord of sacrtfices, with sacrifies in this river, many, born in the race of twice-bom ones, obtain whatever they desire either here or in heaven. Saints, who are purified by bathing in the wsters of this river, and whose minds are devoted to Kesava, obtain final liberation. The sacred river, when heard of, desired, seen, touche'd, bathed in, or hymned, day by day purifies all beings. And those who living even at a distance of hundred yoyanas exclaim " Gangl and Ganga" are relieved of the sins commit- ted during the three "previous existences. The place, from which this river has issued for the purification of the three worlds, is the third division of the celestial region— the seat

Dhruva, with devotion, holds her on his crown day and night. And thence the seven Rishis 'practise their devout austerities in her water wreathing their braided locks with her waves. The orb of the moon, surrounded by her accumu- lated current, increased in lustre by her contact. Having issued from trfe moon she falls on the mount Sumeru and thence to f urifý the world, flows to the four quarters of the earth. Sita, AlakanandS, Chakshu and Ðhadra are only the'.four divisions- of one river and are named so after the regions towards which it proceeds. Alakananda, which flows towards the south, was borne delightedly on his head by Mahádeva for more than a hundred years. And having issued from the braided locks of Sambhu and washed the sins of the sinful sons of Sagara it raised them to heaven. Maitreya, the iniquities of any man, who bathes in this river, are instantly removed and they obtain unprecedented virtue. And its water, if oftered reverentially for three years by the sons to their manes, gives them rare gratification. Having wor- shipped the excellent Purusha, the lord of sacrtfices, with sacrifies in this river, many, born in the race of twice-bom ones, obtain whatever they desire either here or in heaven. Saints, who are purified by bathing in the wsters of this river, and whose minds are devoted to Kesava, obtain final liberation. The sacred river, when heard of, desired, seen, touche'd, bathed in, or hymned, day by day purifies all beings. And those who living even at a distance of hundred yoyanas exclaim " Gangl and Ganga" are relieved of the sins commit- ted during the three "previous existences.

The orb of the moon, surrounded by her accumu- lated current, increased in lustre by her contact.

Sita, AlakanandS, Chakshu and Ðhadra are only the'.four divisions- of one river and are named so after the regions towards which it proceeds. Alakananda, which flows towards the south, was borne delightedly on his head by Mahádeva for more than a hundred years. And having issued from the braided locks of Sambhu and washed the sins of the sinful sons of Sagara it raised them to heaven. Maitreya, the iniquities of any man, who bathes in this river, are instantly removed and they obtain unprecedented virtue. And its water, if oftered reverentially for three years by the sons to their manes, gives them rare gratification. Having wor- shipped the excellent Purusha, the lord of sacrtfices, with sacrifies in this river, many, born in the race of twice-bom ones, obtain whatever they desire either here or in heaven. Saints, who are purified by bathing in the wsters of this river, and whose minds are devoted to Kesava, obtain final liberation. The sacred river, when heard of, desired, seen, touche'd, bathed in, or hymned, day by day purifies all beings.

Dhruva, with devotion, holds her on his crown day and night. And thence the seven Rishis 'practise their devout austerities in her water wreathing their braided locks with her waves. The orb of the moon, surrounded by her accumu- lated current, increased in lustre by her contact. Having issued from trfe moon she falls on the mount Sumeru and thence to f urifý the world, flows to the four quarters of the earth. Sita, AlakanandS, Chakshu and Ðhadra are only the'.four divisions- of one river and are named so after the regions towards which it proceeds. Alakananda, which flows towards the south, was borne delightedly on his head by Mahádeva for more than a hundred years. And having issued from the braided locks of Sambhu and washed the sins of the sinful sons of Sagara it raised them to heaven. Maitreya, the iniquities of any man, who bathes in this river, are instantly removed and they obtain unprecedented virtue. And its water, if oftered reverentially for three years by the sons to their manes, gives them rare gratification. Having wor- shipped the excellent Purusha, the lord of sacrtfices, with sacrifies in this river, many, born in the race of twice-bom ones, obtain whatever they desire either here or in heaven. Saints, who are purified by bathing in the wsters of this river, and whose minds are devoted to Kesava, obtain final liberation. The sacred river, when heard of, desired, seen, touche'd, bathed in, or hymned, day by day purifies all beings. And those who living even at a distance of hundred yoyanas exclaim " Gangl and Ganga" are relieved of the sins commit- ted during the three "previous existences.

The sacred river, when heard of, desired, seen, touche'd, bathed in, or hymned, day by day purifies all beings. And those who living even at a distance of hundred yoyanas exclaim " Gangl and Ganga" are relieved of the sins commit- ted during the three "previous existences. The place, from which this river has issued for the purification of the three worlds, is the third division of the celestial region— the seat

अध्याय ३०

श्लोक 122

यतः सा पावनायालं त्रयाणां जगताम् अपि समुद्भूता परं तत् तु तृतीयं भगवत्पदम्

yataḥ sā pāvanāyālaṃ trayāṇāṃ jagatām api samudbhūtā paraṃ tat tu tṛtīyaṃ bhagavatpadam

हिन्दी अर्थ

ब्राह्मण बोले--हे राजन् ! सुनो, मैं अमुक हूँ--यह बात कही नहीं जा सकती और तुमने जो मेरे यहाँ आनेका कारण पूछा सो आना-जाना आदि सभी क्रियाएँ कर्मफलके उपभोगके लिये ही हुआ करती हैं

Dhruva, with devotion, holds her on his crown day and night. And thence the seven Rishis 'practise their devout austerities in her water wreathing their braided locks with her waves. The orb of the moon, surrounded by her accumu- lated current, increased in lustre by her contact. Having issued from trfe moon she falls on the mount Sumeru and thence to f urifý the world, flows to the four quarters of the earth. Sita, AlakanandS, Chakshu and Ðhadra are only the'.four divisions- of one river and are named so after the regions towards which it proceeds. Alakananda, which flows towards the south, was borne delightedly on his head by Mahádeva for more than a hundred years. And having issued from the braided locks of Sambhu and washed the sins of the sinful sons of Sagara it raised them to heaven. Maitreya, the iniquities of any man, who bathes in this river, are instantly removed and they obtain unprecedented virtue. And its water, if oftered reverentially for three years by the sons to their manes, gives them rare gratification.
