Elaboration-Sunrise and sunset-The rising and setting of the sun in
terms of directions or time is with reference to the general observer because the time and direction of sunset and sunrise is not fixed for every point on the earth. In fact the sun is always present over the globe but when there is some kind of obstruction covering some area or direction, people of that area are unable to see the sun. It is then that they say"The sun has set now." When there is no such obstruction and people are able to see the sun they say-"The sun has risen now." Some Acharya has said "As the sun moves forward in the sky every moment, night approaches to its rear. That is why the rising and setting of the sun is dependent on the movement of the sun." This automatically explains the traditional belief that the sun enters the western sea and sinks into the underworld (paataal) to rise once again from the eastern sea.

Day in two directions at the same time ?-Jambudveep has two suns. When one sun is to the north of Meru mountain the other is to its south. At that time it is day on the northern as well as southern directions and it is night on the eastern and western directions of the Meru. When it is day on the eastern and western directions of the Meru it is night on the northern and southern directions of the Meru. That is why there is day in two directions and night in two directions at the same time. For further clarity see the illustration showing the suns moving around Meru mountain.

७. [ प्र. ] भगवन् ! जब जम्बूद्वीप नामक द्वीप के दक्षिणार्द्ध में उत्कृष्ट अठारह मुहूर्त्त का दिन होता है, तब क्या उत्तरार्द्ध में भी उत्कृष्ट ( सबसे बड़ा ) अठारह मुहूर्त्त का दिन होता है ? और जब उत्तरार्द्ध में उत्कृष्ट अठारह मुहूर्त्त का दिन होता है, तब क्या जम्बूद्वीप में पर्वत से पूर्व-पश्चिम में जघन्य (छोटी से छोटी) बारह मुहूर्त्त की रात्रि होती है ?

[उ. ] हाँ, गौतम ! (यह इसी तरह होती है। अर्थात् ) जब जम्बद्वीप में १८ मुहूर्त का दिन बारह मुहूर्त्त की रात्रि होती है।
यावत्
